Gopher Posted April 30 Author Share Posted April 30 (edited) Collett Goods heads towards Harewood Halt. In other news and thanks to Neal @Neal Ball I've upgraded the speaker in my Accurascale Torquay Manor. This is the second time I've replaced the speaker. The original sound was underwhelming. The first upgrade was a larger flatter speaker which only marginally improved the sound. This time round I copied Neal's technique as outlined on his thread, (basically cut away part of the coal space in the tender and fitted a bigger speaker). Huge improvement in sound. Now a match (sound wise) for my Dapol Manors. So thanks again Neal.😀 Edited April 30 by Gopher 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was amazed at how much the sound changed after the upgrade to the new speaker. It is certainly well worth doing. Nice couple of photos as well. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Neal - totally agree about the benefits of RMWeb. I have to say the sound from the upgraded speaker exceeded my expectations, (even with the smokebox speaker disconnected). I can see me running Torquay Manor more often Clive 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gopher Posted May 1 Author Share Posted May 1 15xx Pannier is the station pilot engine, seen here parked in the head shunt . I tend to use a tank engine as a pilot to release locos from the front of passenger trains, and also to shunt the goods yard. The platform lines have crossovers, but I rarely use these for engine release. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite difficult positioning my phone to take a half decent photo. I zoomed for the B&W photo, which seems to accentuate any slight flaws in the track and platforms (well that is my excuse) 😄 Clive 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
