Sorted!! many thanks to the forum.

Will double check… thank you for taking time out to do this. BYW- I do not have a lokprogrammer so just using my ECoS.

Thank you for your assistance. Unfortunately, so far no luck.

Very interesting. I too have DCC sound fitted (green) class 37. Has anyone been able to code up a kadee uncoupling waltz? I'm flummoxed, even though I have downloaded the v5 loksound guide and attempted the function mapping. I set the following: CV 31 value 16 CV32 set to mapping line value CVH ( F26 which is vacant,) CVN (uncoupling cycle) value 64 both set to mapping line co-ordinate values CV31/32 reset to zero. Cv 246=5 247=244 248=150. nothing moved. Have I missed something? cheers

Thanks- waiting to hear any other reports. I’ve asked a colleague to test a piece on her Cricut and I will post the results in case anyone else is considering a machine.

Hi could anyone advise whether a Cricut machine is capable of cutting through Wills modelling sheets as supplied in blister packs and their Craftsman kits please. I am considering purchase. cheers

Cheers. Sorted out the frog issue as per your advice.

Hi thankss for the reply. There are three frog droppers attached to the Peco point. One per motor via the Switchpilot Extension module. What about the third dropper? Where does that go?

Hope that someone has fathomed this out... I assume that I use two ports of the switchpilot, one for each sub-turnout but how do I wire up the three frogs to the two Extension ports? Do I take a spur off the middle one and pair up to each of the other two? following on… thanks to advice posted in reply, I have sorted out the above issue. However, a new one emerges… I use the ECoS system and the feedback method via the Extension modules. Now can only obtain correct feedback for two of the three point positions despite swapping over terminals. Is this just me or has anyone else found this ( and fixed it)?

Hi I’ve come to the party a bit late but find this topic exciting and wish to attempt it. Before getting stuck in, could you please clarify what you mean by resetting index CV’s to 0 before proceeding further... What index CVS are you referring to? cheers Nelly

So where can I get an OO scale broom....?

I agree totally with those who find the search facility for the forum near useless. I’m trying to research what width of white line I should use for my platform edge- OO scale LMS mixed steam/diesel era Can anyone assist?

Thank you guys!

This one has stumped me. Can anyone assist please? I’m planning twin track junction off from twin main line. I envisaged two short left hand points (SL-E192) and a diamond crossing (SL-E193) This does not work due to shallow angle of diamond crossing. I also wish to maintain streamline permanent way. How is this possible and what items do I require?

Sorry about that...

I looked at this problem here on RMWeb, having a similar problem myself in a section of board where a support beam affixed to the free standing units precluded me from mounting an under board motor. I just superglued an offcuts of thin springy styrene sheet to the body of the PL-11 body left free over the arm and overhanging at the free end for added stability and longevity. Quick, easy and cheap

Hi guys thanks for the response. I just want the lights to come on automatically at night when ambient light drops. Its on-off that I’m looking to achieve.

Hi I would like to use an opto sensor to brighten yard lamps when I turn off the room lights ( or when it’s dark outside). This is the complete opposite to what my opto sensor does. Are devices available which do what I wish it to or can someone suggest a module or simple circuit that will let me achieve this. Thanks.

Hi- if you search for “yard lamps” in this section, you will find details of construction. I also made station lamps using the same method. Obviously you don’t need the ladders but I added ladder rests. I’ve attached photo. I added plastic sleeve to the column base for effect and ordered station names inline which I backed with styrene. Hope this helps

I have a Bachmann TMC triplet.

Yep- Howes confirmed that it is discontinued. Humbrol 65 is nearest that I can find. Not sure of correct colour to mix it with.

Hi guys, help requested...tried searching for this. I’m tackling the Parkside fish van kit but cannot find the correct enamel paint to finish it in ice blue. Humbrol 65 just doesn’t match and not sure if Revell 29 will work. Has anyone surmounted this problem and can they assist me please. Thank you.

Depending on how much space you have under the board, can you just slightly crimp the very ends with one tube inside the other?

I would like to model the water column at Bury Bolton St station on the ELR. It is described as a “Horwich type” in the excellent “Bury to Heywood and Rawtenstall” book by Wells & Bentley. Other examples of this type were found in various sites as depicted in the photos contained therein. Are they in fact of the LMS/ Midland type available as a white metal OO gauge kit? If not, can anyone point me to an appropriate OO model of the type.

Hello ...found this very old thread. I have a problem with mine in that the bridge tracks do not line up exactly with the roads when the end point of rotation is reached. There is a little “play” in the bridge rotation. It is less than one cog position. Can you offer any advice? ps- the clicking t had at you reported happens in mind as well- mine is DCC controlled.
