My sure method of knowing what I am doing, you know the labels on the end of the wires has failed , half the labels fell off in this heat. I now have the cable form for the platform ends in place. I may have the signals working when I get the royal visit from Swadlincote on Monday. Or I may not. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IrRoog3S_TI&list=PLz2w1rQjXBxEN4VfRaS68T46Kh1Dl7G4F&index=10 There is NO MAY about it, I want the night shift in the Train Room as well now, I except NO EXCUSES.

When bashing one's head under the baseboard I find loud music helps - or at least helps to keep the expletives from reaching the neighbours.

RMweb Premium Clive Mortimore Posted July 29, 2019 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted July 29, 2019 I managed fit 18 out 25 signals by close of play last night. Just being under the baseboards was very awkward trying to solder above my head. The hot weather which made the sticky labels not be sticky meant I crossed a few wires over, one slide switch didn't travel its full distance so was not making contact and that was with one of the crossed wires. I wired up one set of twin headed signals so the right hand switch was changing the left hand signal. The most disconcerting aspect was about a third of the green LEDs had been wired up backwards, the negative wire on the positive connection. This took ages to figure out why the greens weren't working. Now top tidy up the train room for when Mr P and the gang descend on the ranch. 7 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew P Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 I have to inform you all, that NO DCC was mentioned all day, (apart from the Doghnut Count Controller) and apart from Mine Host forgetting to switch switches etc all the Trains ran as sweet as any I have seen anywhere, and a darn site better than I've seen at most shows where an awful lot of finger poking normally takes place. 5 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
