Andrew P Posted April 6, 2019 Author Share Posted April 6, 2019 Earlier in the week I fitted a Hornby TTS Class 47 Sound Chip into a Heljan 47, it ran fine but at very low speed steps, 1, 2, 3, ish of 125 it was a little stutter. An E-Mail to Hornby and a reply with some new CV settings and it's now really sweet, so very pleased. I will be either changing the speaker for a Bass Reflex or just replacing the one speaker with a pair, for a softer deeper sound at some point. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some great photos though, and not far from where my Dad was born. Cheers for the photos and info. Always good to hear from you mate. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew P Posted April 9, 2019 Author Share Posted April 9, 2019 Now with Bala Town moved on, I put MS up onto the frame, and that makes it easier to work on. I started on the Factory but rather than using the rear wall, that would have been wasted and never seen, I cut off the North Light sections of the roof, and made it into a Flat Roof extension, it took a lot of internal bracing and now also has a MDF Roof. there will be a lot more to do over the coming weeks. I also took the advantage of a nice running session. 18 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew P Posted April 10, 2019 Author Share Posted April 10, 2019 Cheers Guys, just stopped for a short break, but after a Tip Run, I made a start on the Parcels Bay. It was originally going to be the building I did yesterday, but the Platform is to narrow for the Brute Trollies, so it is now the larger triangular one, and I've just laid the base, and made a start on the Canopy. Some pics later. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew P Posted April 10, 2019 Author Share Posted April 10, 2019 Almost done the Parcels Bay, I may cut and move the Factories around to get just one behind the Canopy, that is just free standing on legs at the moment. 9 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew P Posted April 10, 2019 Author Share Posted April 10, 2019 Just ordered my Zimo Digitrains Sound chip for the 08, (that should be fun to fit) although I have done a Bachmann 08 back in 2009 for Kingsmill. and I've also ordered a couple of Bass Speakers for the TTS fitted 47 and 20. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew P Posted April 10, 2019 Author Share Posted April 10, 2019 I did re arrange the Warehouses, it meant doing an old Motor Trade trick of a cut and shut, but seems to have worked well. I also fitted the Doors as well. 9 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew P Posted April 10, 2019 Author Share Posted April 10, 2019 Then the 47 arrived with a short Van Train, I really do need a Brake Van. 14 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew P Posted April 10, 2019 Author Share Posted April 10, 2019 With the 08 waiting for it's new Engine (Sound Chip) the 25 was pushed into service to shunt the Yard. Having removed the Vans from behind the 47, and placed them into the Goods Yard, it then proceeded to collect the Baggage Van from the Warehouse and attach it to the front of the Parcels Vans, ready to move them to the departure siding, for the 47 to take away later. 12 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew P Posted April 10, 2019 Author Share Posted April 10, 2019 The 25 then puts the Parcels Stock into the Departure Road, and returns to the Yards Stabling Point for some more instructions after a Brew. 10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
