dasatcopthorne Posted August 29, 2021 Author Share Posted August 29, 2021 (edited) Had to remove the bridge to install a Shunt Signal so decided to fit a couple of street lights. Hopefully, this view won't be seen again. Dave. Edited April 13, 2022 by dasatcopthorne 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dasatcopthorne Posted August 30, 2021 Author Share Posted August 30, 2021 (edited) I had planned to drop the three supplies for the lights, down through individual holes in the baseboard but then I came to my senses. Just in time. A small PCB was built and affixed under the roadway complete with the necessary resistors and a safety diode. This will now be fed with a single supply lead. Room under the end of the board is getting sight and I still have to find space for the Shunt Signals' PCBs. Dave.

dasatcopthorne Posted September 7, 2021 Author Share Posted September 7, 2021 (edited) The new street lights are now in operation along with a 'new' old lamp at the end of the loading dock. All in aid of getting ready for the layout's first show in October. Dave Edited April 13, 2022 by dasatcopthorne 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

dasatcopthorne Posted February 7, 2022 Author Share Posted February 7, 2022 (edited) Recently received my first order from Scale3D.co.uk. Very pleased with the Flue prints. Used Halford's Black primer and then weathered with powders. Also excellent service. Dave. Edited April 13, 2022 by dasatcopthorne 10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dasatcopthorne Posted March 31, 2022 Author Share Posted March 31, 2022 (edited) More items (figures) from Scale3D. They really are nicely detailed and at a reasonable cost. Also, so much variety. Added to those already on the bridge. Dave. Edited April 13, 2022 by dasatcopthorne 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dasatcopthorne Posted March 31, 2022 Author Share Posted March 31, 2022 Over a few operating sessions it became apparent that an opportunity to uncouple stock in the centre road was missing. The reason for this is that as I use permanent magnets, some unwanted uncoupling would take place if a second magnet was installed in the same road. As I use Dingo Servo mounts for the points I became aware that they had introduced a mechanism to raise and lower magnets under the track. I duly purchased one and here is the result. Very pleased.

dasatcopthorne Posted April 4, 2022 Author Share Posted April 4, 2022 (edited) This is an alternative to the permanent magnets fitted elsewhere. Thanks again to Brian Kirby for inventing this conversion. Elbow Lane. Edited April 4, 2022 by dasatcopthorne Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

dasatcopthorne Posted May 16, 2022 Author Share Posted May 16, 2022 (edited) I availed myself of a new layout sign at ExpoEM at the weekend and a hard wired Lokpilot V4 has given Elbow Lane a new era. Also some passengers have turned up for the new service. Edited May 16, 2022 by dasatcopthorne 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dasatcopthorne Posted June 24, 2022 Author Share Posted June 24, 2022 At last! I can now get rid of the temporary flat bottom double slip and ballast in the correct Bullhead. Only been 2 years. Dave. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
