Hi, they look really great! I wondered how you do your panel wash? I did go looking for a Tamiya panel wash paint but it was really hard to get, I'd be interested to know what works, especially on yellow! Thanks Jeremy

I think the Class 185 is a great shout and a real 'missing link' from the current modelling scene. They might not have many liveries, but cover a huge geographical range and will be around for many years to come. I'd certainly have one and probably two as they look great in both liveries. Cheers Jeremy

Yes, look at my post on the previous page

It could have a big stay-alive in it, which is pretty similar!

Maybe I'm missing the point here, but the DVT with sound was an easy fix. I used a Loksound FX (function only decoder) with Legoman Biffo sound and a stay alive fitted to it. All the flicker goes and the sound is excellent. Cheers Jeremy

Everyone briefed and looking forward to setting up on Friday

There is the internet in Benidorm........ ;)

Yes, not long to go now! Looking forward to a good weekend!

I'd like to know how to set the CVs to turn the interior lighting on with F0 so that it will stay illuminated at shows after a trip. I normally do this on ESU chips but am not sure where to start on Zimo decoders. Any help gratefully received. Thanks Jeremy

I disagree with you an this McC, as we often take a layout out to exhibitions that has OHLE in a stabling area. Being able to raise and lower the pans allows both the CL92s and Cl90s to sit on shed with their pans down, but then put them up and drive off when required in a realistic manner. They are not a gimmick! One day people will take pantographs as seriously as the valve gear on a steam loco! Now tiny LEDs that flash where the pantograph meets the rail are maybe closer to a gimmick, but again represent a specific thing seen on the real railway. So please keep pushing the boundaries and developing these 'firsts'! (Oh and make sure that the Cl 92 pantograph head is flat with the wires when up, and when down, sits within the loading gauge please). Cheers Jeremy

Does anyone know which CVs control the brightness of the destination displays and the interior lighting. Mine are really dim. Also, I'd like to add the interior lights to work with F0 so that at exhibitions people don't forget to turn them on (or on again after a trip). Hopefully someone else has worked out how to do these things. I normally use ESU decoders and its easy to do all the above on a Lokprogrammer. Thanks in advance Jeremy

You beat me too it Dave! Thanks for posing this. Looking forwards to the Exhibition, Jeremy

Great Endon is now back in my garage near Preston and I just wanted to say a big thank you to Malcolm and all the Falkirk team for putting on an excellent exhibition. We were made to feel very welcome, and it was a busy show with generally a good crowd in front of the layout. I was pleasantly surprised and very grateful to be awarded the Tony Cornwell Cup for my layout, which made my day. Thanks again Jeremy

ESU Chips have a 'flicker' start function for lighting. This is used in the Realtrack Cl156s and looks very realistic. Hope this helps Jeremy

Taking Caroline for a test spin on Euxton Junction. To get the rear lights on Caroline to not show, I used a piece of insulation tape on the board and the change the light settings on the Cl37. (yes I know its the wrong green for this Cl37 livery) Cheers Jeremy
