No Andy, although i very much enjoyed the show i found it difficult to view a lot of the layouts due to the crowds and by late afternoon when it started to thin out i had to head off home. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew P Posted October 4, 2021 Author Share Posted October 4, 2021 This morning I've finished adjusting all the Loco Sounds. I have a 66 and 60 with Hornby TTS Sounds, both run superbly but I had the Volumes on minimum and they were still far to loud, so I ended up with a bit of dense sponge and insulating tape over the Speaker to deaden them down a bit. Video 23 is already filmed so we won't hear any difference until Video 24 and beyond. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew P Posted October 4, 2021 Author Share Posted October 4, 2021 I've also finished fitting all the front end details to the Locos, and also a bit of foam between the coaches on the 150. 14 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably Friday, but that depends on what gets done this week, If progress is good then I might throw it in earlier, and have another new one for Friday Brian. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something to remove the visual gap but flexible enough for curves. Passes the 3’ rule I’m sure. Paul. 1 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul R Haha, No not yet, there doesn't appear to be any new ones around, and I'm watching a used on on EB, but that look heavily weathered. Plenty of time, I need some more Buildings first. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Andy, Is there not a 'short-bar-coupling' option available anywhere? I appreciate the camera will make the gap seem bigger than it is, but it does seem a bit OTT, especially for those modellers with reasonable curves? Could a couple of medium kadees do the trick?

Rich Hi Rich, No as the bar supplied also carries the current for all the lighting in the Trailer Car, i.e. directional head and tail plus interior lights. 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium JDW Posted October 4, 2021 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 4, 2021 That's a good idea with the foam to fill the gap but as @MarshLane says the gap seems a bit large, I'm sure mine don't sit that far apart. Could it be that the foam is a little too long, pushing the coaches apart and pulling the close coupling mechanisms out on their springs as far as the slack/slop in the couplings will allow? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah! Good comment. Id not thought of that, although I suppose a separate function decoder in the trailer on the same number as the main would get round it, but probably not worth the hassle ... especially as given the amount of freight traffic on this line, passenger services are likely to be limited to 4.76 return trips a year Rich 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy there are several different lengths of the bar, though perhaps the ‘short’ one was swapped if it’s a secondhand unit? I’ve got some in the shed I’ll have a look what I’ve got and let you know. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
