bescotbeast Posted February 19, 2018 Author Share Posted February 19, 2018 two packages from Hattons today . Two cobalt point motors which I want to try out on the layout in place of the SEEP point motors. I'm having an issue with the SEEPS, where I'm having to throw the switch for each point at the start of an operating session countless times before they will respond, I've tried spraying them with WD40 to keep them lubricated but this seems to have made them worse. I'm hoping trialing these Cobalts will make the points more reliable. The signal is second hand, hence the damage, but this will be repaired and then installed on the elevated section nearest the window giving access to the goods line. package from Hattons by Simon Barnes, on Flickr Three aspect signal with feather and subsidiary signal by Simon Barnes, on Flickr 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bescotbeast Posted February 22, 2018 Author Share Posted February 22, 2018 Point motors now in place and working after much faffing to get them into the right spot.

d winpenny Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 Signal looks good I saw some on hattons but they all seemed location specific and when I've got no layout its kind of pointless David Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

se97mlm Posted April 15, 2018 Share Posted April 15, 2018 Hi I have a quick question: Can you tell me what Gradient you have going up and down to your high Level? Regards Matt 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bescotbeast Posted April 15, 2018 Author Share Posted April 15, 2018 Hi I have a quick question: Can you tell me what Gradient you have going up and down to your high Level? Regards Matt Afternoon Matt, of the top of my head I can't remember but if I was to build another layout I'd certainly try and avoid gradients unless I had the space to make the rising gradient virtually un-seeable. The gradients have over the years given me some issues and one of them had to be adjusted as I was having problems running anything with a Co-Co wheelbase over the summit. Hope this helps Simon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
