shaunthesheep277 Posted January 26, 2015 Author Share Posted January 26, 2015 Downloaded the ESU manual for the decoders. One thing I tried this weekend was to put a capacitor in my 08 only place to put it is the cab However... after soldering repeatedly the same points on the SOUND decoder (yeah sound not cheap) the pads have burnt off and well a day of frustration I er well ripped it out and yes at £100 plus a pop was a stupid thing to do Now I know what I have done wrong from last time is once the capacitor is soldered into place is READ the instructions and I would of read is to change cv113 to 255 once in place (give 3-4 seconds of stay alive power to try on my dead spot) Lesson learned will try again now I know this Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaunthesheep277 Posted January 26, 2015 Author Share Posted January 26, 2015 Oh yes I did not want to touch my class 33 yet because of this very reason Dam! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaunthesheep277 Posted January 28, 2015 Author Share Posted January 28, 2015 I've fitted some capacitors to some of my trains (except my class 33) and I've yet to try them on the layout but they now do work and they have a charge of 4 seconds Because of there size most of them are in one end in the cab. Not too worried about it but when it comes down to my class 08's I have to make a sacrifice and remove all the cab interior They can be covered up with a crew member in the doorway only one done so before I do the rest I'll try them on the layout first and give the track a VERY good cleaning Hope it never comes to selling them cause it devalues them altogether I think will have some pics soon and when my new sound decoder comes for the class 08 I love the sound so much the first time round I might try my hand at a video 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaunthesheep277 Posted February 5, 2015 Author Share Posted February 5, 2015 It's The Festival of British Railway Modelling at the weekend in Doncaster so looking forward to that. Hopefully I can get my hands on a Hornby EWS class 08 as my Bachmann 08 is beaten up a bit then all my 08's are Hornby. I've been looking at some class 20's, class 58's or something of interest, something with room for sound Bits n bobs to get as well as some 3mm yellow led's for an idea for a road vehicle for the layout, funny really I have a trailer to go with the transit on the layout and I thinking of lighting it up with a little sign " Be back in 5" with flashing yellow lights for when Peterborough comes give people a chuckle if I'm not there and or there's nothing running (well I think it would be funny) Spend Spend Spend loads of money, the wish list comes out so lets see what I buy Video will be coming soon with my new camera and tripod so watch out J.J.Abrams 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaunthesheep277 Posted February 7, 2015 Author Share Posted February 7, 2015 Well I got a Lima class 20 needs some TLC so I'm going to do the whole hog and is doing a full D.C.C conversion, sound lights the lot (why not) class 58 Hornby. It's 58003 Markham Colliery weathered, liked it, bought it & scarpered. Hopefully both will be on layout soon The one thing I wanted a class 08 in EWS livery didn't get even when to my local MS on the way home no luck When I got home though there was an email for an alert from ebay (I've been looking) of one just come up (newly listed) Ive got this one already but you can renumber, bought it Class 20 £35 Class 85 £45 Class 08 £80 (that's second hand there like gold dust) Been on Express Models to get the lights kit. The decoders I'll hang fire for now Lot of money spend today, well it's my hobby and I'm happy One last thing, got my L.E.D's for my idea for the funny sign so maybe next weekend loads of pics and video of my class 08 with sound Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaunthesheep277 Posted February 8, 2015 Author Share Posted February 8, 2015 Haven't been able to do much this weekend cause we had the bain (Hull word for child) but I did get one little thing done The funny little sign I was on about with working flashing lights also managed to get varnish on my laptop mouse so now it feels rough to touch but still working 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

shaunthesheep277 Posted February 11, 2015 Author Share Posted February 11, 2015 Quick update... The Lima class 20 has had new bogies fitted as the old ones when I checked were very worn and old the wiring socket has turned up just waiting on the lighting kit hopefully here before weekend and I'll get right on it along with bringing the layout down off the wardrobe for a running session Two sound decoders on the way for my class 08's, two more and that's all five fitted. I've yet to try the loco's fitted with capacitors fitted but when tested they worked fine and had a charge of about three seconds. The new class 08 to replace the old one is due to be sent off to be weathered Busy Busy Busy Video is coming, would of done it last weekend (never mind) 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

CourthsVeil Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 (edited) Module: another modeller gave me the following advice: "Go to your Youtube video, click on the "Share" button below the video, copy the link that then appears, and insert it here using the link button." It worked! Hope this helps… Regards Armin edit: sorry! didn't see that Shaun was by 24hrs faster than me… Edited February 19, 2015 by CourthsVeil Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Module00 Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 (edited) I tried all the functions... I badly have to make an action. I do not understand. for exemple one of my video : http://youtu.be/DDYuKzZ3DQo?list=UUjOWnywp_okyd8_ogDS7VTQ Ok i go to try one more. I would have wanted to present videos of my 00 gauge layout on my thread but otherwise, it doesn't matter.

shaunthesheep277 Posted February 20, 2015 Author Share Posted February 20, 2015 Just got myself 3 lots of lights from CRSignals to see if I'd like on the layout compared to my homemade versions I don't know maybe near the point but near the branch lines, might not be any room Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did notice the link above has shown up as a website address and not appeared as a video link, that is a puzzle? I will look for a way if I can Your video is above and it has worked for me. All I did was copy the link and pasted above. the difference from the video link to me posting is only one I can think of is this, your link is underlined and with spaces the copy of the link I've used is the same address as the address used for youtube Edited February 21, 2015 by shaunthesheep277 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
