  1. Was it the doors themselves John? Or the fact that if you had a rake of wagons it would be difficult to load them with evenly distributed loads … doors on each side only giving access to one end of the wagon?
  2. Pretty central in Brum then. Have you spoken to Redditch they are a friendly bunch . As Phil says a good plan to go and talk to them. It’s a shame their show was 2 weeks ago, that’s always a good opportunity
  3. And Birmingham covers a large geographical area… a more specific location might help
  4. That’s one expensive loco! Don’t go giving them ideas…
  5. So all the points on the previous incarnation of Abbotswood had Tam Valley frog juicers. On the current layout they are only used on diamonds and reversing loops. They are solid state not relays. We are totally DCC sound … and there are zero issues with them, they do their work without any indication they are there … polarity switching instantaneous. Take a look at layout videos in signature to see them in action … but you won’t notice them! No connection with firm just a very satisfied customer
  6. 34 NBLs might be too many! Luckily we dont have that many…
  7. Only half of them!!! 😉 Yes probably more than in the Black Sea fleet…
  8. So have decided to do as suggested to eliminate another issue going forwards … thanks @WIMorrison
  9. Have been playing with IP-CB and stay alive sound fitted locos this morning. This has revealed that 0.33 amps should be allowed to give a safety margin for IP-CB to be able to reset after a short. 16 sound and stay alive Warships would not allow restart on 4 amps but they were ok with 4.5 amps. Definitely a job for when SWMBO is out!!! IP-CB will support more than that once they are running but it’s the power rush in to the stay alives that pushes up the current draw. As more locos are coming with stay alives installed this is something for folks to think about with their Dcc system perhaps ….
