MRDBLUE17 Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 Hi Kev, Just came up with an error message when I tried on my iPhone not sure if it will be different on a PC? Mark Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lyddrail Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 Kev, Thanks to you, Ian and Russ for all you did at Lydd Rail. I will long remember watching your layout late on Saturday with a cool drink, although Ian made a couple of drink related mistakes I think. Layout looked very good and I was suprised how it had changed since I saw it at Barrow. Cheers. Paul. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozzyo Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 You were seeing it in stereo vision due to the Barrow mob bring some proper beer with them. Ian only took two polly pins with him. One for himself on day one (do you see where I'm going?). Glad that you had a good weekend. Are you coming up to Barrow in October? OzzyO. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevpeo Posted August 8, 2013 Author Share Posted August 8, 2013 That's a cruel slur Ozzy. The beer was shared (mostly) evenly! It was a pleasure Paul. As for the video Mark, some seem to be able to see it and others not? Kev. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lyddrail Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 Ozzy, I always enjoy visiting Barrow but it depends on arranging care for my mother. To be fair to Ian, Kevin was not fault free that night either!! Sorry mate. Cheers. Paul. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevpeo Posted September 12, 2013 Author Share Posted September 12, 2013 All sobered up now! 37 406 takes a new wagon for a test run. It failed! The wagon that is, a Cambrian 'tench' and it's just too long for the corners. Never mind, it's for a different layout anyway. 406 on the other hand is working fine after having a 'heart transplant'. It received a v4 decoder that was in a Coppell loco loaded with a simple program that wasted its capabilities. Now on the other hand it has a duel standard/manual program using my recordings of 37 423. Also in the works are 27 019 for a replacement AB speaker, and 27 112 which is getting a Coastal DCC class 27 v4 decoder and an AB speaker too! The v4 decoder from 112 will find its way into 37 412 soon. Kev. 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MRDBLUE17 Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 Hi Kev, I will look forward to hearing your 423 recordings at some point, sadly doubt I will make it down to Barrow this year despite booking that week off at the start of the year but a different arrival will probably get in the way! You never know! Hope it goes well Mark Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevpeo Posted September 20, 2013 Author Share Posted September 20, 2013 37 412 has now had it's 'heart transplant' to a v4 and a 4ohm speaker. Just tweaking the program and then she will be ready for traffic. I have to confess to having a very enjoyable/strange 5 mins driving it round with it making Sulzer type 2 noises first! Kev.

Jack00 Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 I once had a 33 sound chip in a 57 whilst testing. Lovely layout i've read through a few times but never commented. The grotty sulzers really look the part. All the best Jack Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack00 Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 Im sure you would be greatly received! Not seen many (if any) scottish layouts at shows in Cornwall for a while. I'll keep checking in for pictures and updates. Cheers Jack Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevpeo Posted October 18, 2013 Author Share Posted October 18, 2013 Well I've killed my first Heljan 'rat'! 27 001 has been running a little 'ropey' for a while. It has had a tendency to sometimes 'stick' when asked to pull away, followed by an F1 grid style take off when the volts have overcome the resistance! I put it down to dirty wheels at first, until one day it just stopped. On further investigation it turned out to be a seized bearing on top of one bogie tower which was spinning inside its plastic housing. Once cleaned up and oiled 001 ran once again but with a tendency to bounce up and down at low speed! After further investigation it turns out that the torque of the motor had bent the cardan shafts as well! After re-straightening these, it still 'pogo-sticks' along at low speeds so it looks like other damage has been done to the drive train too. Until I get a replacement chassis I have removed the drive train completely so I can use it to 'double-head' with another loco. Putting it on the track in this form has answered the question about Heljan locos legendary high power consumption. They are about as free running as a brick! Kev.

kevpeo Posted October 21, 2013 Author Share Posted October 21, 2013 As he said! The kit is not too difficult to build but it is very 'fiddly'. There are a lot of small and repetitive bits to add, door bumpers, handrails etc. If you do the modified version with no doors it would be a doddle! kev.

kevpeo Posted November 7, 2013 Author Share Posted November 7, 2013 Oh dear, 27 001 has seen better days - The 'bouncy' chassis has now been completely stripped of all its internal organs, including the pick-ups, in an attempt to make it a little more free running! It does seem to have worked, as on the test shown here, 20 119 managed to take it and the two ploughs up the hill with no problems. Before a 20 didn't shift it on the flat! And here is 27 001's shiny new chassis - Well, technically it's a Christmas present, so is it the done thing to cut it up before the big day? What am I saying, course it is! The left over bits will become a 'dummy' 27 014 I think, for now. Kev. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
