  1. Thanks for the reply, it’s interesting to note the difference in the section in light. Before I built the extension to the railway building I had blinds but like you not fully keeping light out. Now I have blinds that completely keep light out so it will be interesting to see if the theory holds
  2. I not heard this mentioned before, could you elaborate a bit more regarding how keeping things dark keeps the track more clean
  3. Sorry to be nit picky but with dcc there is no such thing as polarity. The correct term should be phase as each rail is opposite in phase to each other.
  4. You were more generous than I would have been, I certainly wouldn’t have paid him anything.
  5. Although eBay ect is ok for some things and as your finding your having to compromise, I would really look at more specialist suppliers as you might be disappointed with the results your looking for.
  6. When I installed my room lights ( see shed extension topic) these are rgb+cct. It’s the cct bit that do cool and warm white as there are two type of white led in the panel. It might be worth looking for the cct combo. With my lights it is intended to have a day/night time scene change in the future. The photos on my post of the internal room are in full cool white mode.
  7. as Harlequin rightly suggests a combo of warm and cool white is best, as cool white can be a bit harsh.
  8. A couple of pics of the new space that’s been added
  9. At the back end of 2022 I decided to extend the existing railway building, now in jan 2024 the build was finally completed and the garden has been reinstated as it got a bit wrecked from the build no matter how careful I was. Before And now the finished build. I got to sort out the white bits on the windows which are the blinds I got installed as it does scream at you I feel. And the new build
  10. When I first heard of inox mx3 I checked it out it’s basically a lubricant, not a good thing for gradients or traction tyres as it’s oil based.
  11. As a current TC user I decided to invest in ITrain to see if it was viable to migrate over, previously this would have been extremely difficult to integrate I train into the layout. As I’m now starting a massive rebuild after extending the railway room it is my intention to develop both programs side by side so a direct comparison can be made, this really only applies to basic functions and not advanced features and the ease of implementation of features you require. It would be unfair to compare there advanced features due to the various differences between these programs, hopefully I will be able to define for TC users if the program becomes unusable in the windows environment. But i have to agree I train would be a better choice when starting out with train control software.
  12. new workstation for pc control now built
  13. I forgot to mention that the total floor area of the building is now 85 sq meters. I’m not going to fall into the trap of cramming too much in this time, as they say less is more.
  14. Well after a year building the new extension building the new layout will finally commence. This is the new area.
  15. I also use the l girder method that I discovered in an book by L wescoct or a name very similar, as I’m about to start the new build extension after Xmas I’ve been wondering if to go with the ply frame method or stick with L girder method. The one big advantage apart from strength is the ability to change the framing easily.
