Since the Covid crisis doesn’t seem to be going away soon, the plan is to begin live streaming footage from HLJ towards the end of the year. This live streaming will initially replace the layout going out to the public until things return to some semblance of normality. All streaming will be high quality, with multiple cameras at various locations. This will include a ‘Come trainspotting at Heaton Lodge Junction’ series with the fixed camera locations at multiple points and will live stream for 4/5hrs on particular dates. Additionally there will also be a ‘How to’ series on the scenic techniques I’ve learnt, to cover static grass, realistic road construction, with the emphasis on speed but producing ultra realistic results. Other episodes will cover ‘speed’ weathering, constructing wagon loads and much more. As some may know Heljan is sponsoring Heaton Lodge Junction and as such all new Heljan O gauge models will be featured on the layout (before they hit the shops) pulling heavy trains, being reviewed and tips on weathering them. All this will be scheduled in advance so it’s possible to pick and choose what you wish to see. I’ll keep those interested posted on here. Back to the present and I mentioned earlier the Dive Under tunnel progress. This video ‘Lights at the end of the Tunnel’ was created by software specialist Jonathan and gives a taste of what’s to come. Enjoy Super stuff Simon. One suggestion if I may please - how about a divider between the two tracks in the dive-under so that you don't see the lights of an approaching train on the "wrong" track? 1 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the suggestion although that is already the case. The tunnel is about 35ft long and a lined divider covers the first 10ft. Cos the tunnel is on a gentle left curve I think that’s why it gives the impression you mentioned 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll have to extend the divider 1 1 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewT Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 What sound module / speaker combination have you fitted in the 9F? On video at least, it seems to lack volume, and in particular the bass of the real thing, whereas the diesel locos come over exceptionally realistic in terms of sound.

Hi Andrew The 9F has the standard set up fitted by 55H who built it. I don’t think the speakers are as large as those fitted in the diesels. To be fair the 9F does sound pretty good in the flesh - the whistle especially so. However the smoke unit has packed up so it’s off for a new one soon..

RMweb Gold ianLMS Posted October 23, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 23, 2020 Watching the videos just makes me want to see it more and more in the flesh. Got a lovely suprise when the 9F emerged from the tunnel!!!! Would have been a proper tingling moment if Duchess of Hamilton was on the front of the train instead!!! 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium thegreenhowards Posted October 24, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 24, 2020 I love the exhaust effects on the 47s. Much more convincing than most steam exhaust. 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Others have posted on the same subject. My comment was purely factual and you will note (though you chose to omit it from your reply), that I also said it was such a shame. I wasn't grumbling, nor was I being negative, purely factual in the hope they would pick up on it and hopefully make improvements rather than carrying on unaware. Frankly AY, it is YOUR attitude that stinks. An apology is called for. Edited October 24, 2020 by Denbridge Spelling Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
