[The Long Haul]

The Hornby pullmans have a similar mechanism and mine were also derailing in the same way. I found that there was roughness on the upperside of the cam that prevented it rotating smoothly. sanding off these rough edges sorted the problem for me.

Excellent stuff, looks really good

[Bridge clearance in rural goods yard]

I think that whilst there may well have been official minimum sizes, many bridges were built before they were introduced, so basically anything goes. Witness the several low bridges on goods lines such as Par Harbour or Radstock. So whilst your bridge is very narrow, it is completely plausible. 

[First Time Ballasting with Copydex and Sand!]

I admire anyone who can do this in 2mm scale. Far too small for me! Well done.

Now that the glue has dried, how easy is it to clean the extraneous ballast from the sleeper tops?

Hi Frank,

 

Is the short circuit or overload protection built into the power supply you are using?   If not how does the short circuit/overload protection work in this circuit?

 

Am I correct in assuming that the 22K pot is lin and not log?

 

Is this controller ok with DCC fitted loco's?

 

What is the approximate output current?

 

Thanks

 

Bruce

I've come across this topic just now.  Also,  I would be interested in how you deal with the short circuit/overload protection.
