Andrew P Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 Hi Andy, Gave up with those and swapped them for a pair of readers and a pair of distance and got money back so bought a Standard 5! New problem I have found is the readers, the old ones are better than the new! Good swap deal, I didn't know Specsavers sold Locos as well, hahhaha. Good Loco, I ONLY have one so need a couple more.

67A Posted August 21, 2016 Author Share Posted August 21, 2016 Hi all, Well another week gone by and little progress due to other commitments. However I did manage a few bits here and there... The latest batch of Anhydrite conversions has been tagged on to the rear of the original five, only eight more to go! Regular S&C performer BR 9F 2-10-0 92125 hauls a 12 wagon rake of empty Anhydrite wagons back to Long Meg, The rear seven are overhauled vehicles just released back to the traffic division following works attention, I doubt they will stay that clean for long. New addition to the roster in the shape of ex:LMS Compound 4-4-0 40934 looking decidedly ex: Derby Loco Works! A definite candidate for weathering. Another new edition in the shape of BR Standard 5 4-6-0 73050, this will receive further weathering etc. No I have not gone mad, my friend Brian has asked me to tone this down a little. Friday night's visitors were again era-hopping never mind regional hopping! Same visitor, Grandson's interest shown in previous photo - Grandad's interest more this era. Crosti 9F 92023 (8F) really. cont/.. 17 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice to see the new loco in that scenery Hi Tony, Nice to have you aboard. Yes it would take some time to read the whole thread however if any particular aspects are of interest there is an index on the first post, which reminds me it needs updating! As for era's I normally run between 1955-1968 but also include 'D' prefixed blue diesels with blue and grey stock occasionally, The layout is far from finished so ongoing work will be continuing for some time, hope you enjoy your visits. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

67A Posted August 27, 2016 Author Share Posted August 27, 2016 (edited) It's the WEEKEND ...................I need my FIX. I'VE GOT MY FIX ALREADY ! I managed to get my signals working correctly today having misunderstood the functions on electronic gizmo thingy The unit has buttons: LOW - PROG - HIGH - REV Apparently the term 'REV' does not mean REVERSE apparently it means 'MODE' and does all kinds of programming functions, I thought if when I pressed the 'LOW' button and the signal went up then pressing REV would make the signal go down - but no it was all going haywire, all sorted now thankfully. A new addition will be unveiled tomorrow !!! Edited August 27, 2016 by mike61680 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
peach james Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 As the front page of the instructions said (well, the ones for men)...since you've tried it your way, how about a read and trying it our way ! Sometimes electronics can be very confusing even with the background and instructions to hand. Try reading the digitrax instructions, they are painful at best. The ones for the ds54 are horrible...mind, it is a very capable piece of kit, with lots of options, but still... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes electronics can be very confusing even with the background and instructions to hand. Try reading the digitrax instructions, they are painful at best. The ones for the ds54 are horrible...mind, it is a very capable piece of kit, with lots of options, but still... Well said James, however there were no written instructions and you had to refer to the web and that was war & peace so I opted for the Frank Sinatra approach, got there in the end. Spent the last two days tinkering with a few nagging faults and now I have an electrical fault on the Down line, the usual scenario - fix one thing, break another!
