RMweb Gold mudmagnet Posted July 14, 2017 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted July 14, 2017 Just a reminder, I will be taking Orchard Road to Churston Ferrers exhibition next Saturday. I will be making some space in the garage tomorrow to erect the layout and test everything out. I've added some display boards across the front and need to add some photos etc in the week. I've also fitted sound decoder to both my Bachmann 08's. I've used Zimo 648 sound decoders with Digitrains Activ-drive sound files (Paul Chetter) with a sugar cube speaker. There is a little more space in the newer 08 and almost enough for a small capacitor. A bit tighter in the older 08 and certainly no space for a capacitor. Anyone one photo taken recently. 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold mudmagnet Posted July 18, 2017 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted July 18, 2017 As part of pre-exhibition testing, I've set Orchard Road up in the garage in full exhibition mode! Normally lives in the garage boxed up. I've added three figures from the Modelu3D range. Out on Saturday at Churston Ferrers, near Paignton. 12 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold mudmagnet Posted July 21, 2017 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted July 21, 2017 The layout has been loaded into the car ready to pick Ray up in the morning for our trip down to Churston Ferrers tomorrow morning. At least the torrential rain has stopped! 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAY NORWOOD Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 That say rain tomorrow as well. But that won't spoil the day tomorrow it will be a good day play on Orchard Road. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold mudmagnet Posted July 23, 2017 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted July 23, 2017 We had a great day yesterday. Both running the layout via Train Driver app on our phones for the first time in an exhibition environment. Worked really well, particularly when shunting the fuel tanks using the two sound fitted 08s! Must say that really pleased with these two! Had a couple of odd issues with a couple of locos not running as expected. With sound running, would not drive when throttle opened, but running first then sound on, would be ok! Very strange? Can only think either lack of power to track, i.e. too many locos on the layout of decoders getting too many signals and not interpreting them correctly..... Anyway, back out in Bridport next Saturday! Also, the new front display boards along the front worked a treat, stopped little fingers touching the front of the layout. A couple of photos to follow. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The max I think we had on Deesdale Road in a MAD MOMENT was 9, all with Sound and Lights and run from the Gaugemaster prodigy, and 3 Hand Sets. I can't why you should lack Power Richard.

Its the older version of the PowerCab with only 2 recall, but don't think that this is the issue.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
