tender Posted January 27, 2014 Author Share Posted January 27, 2014 BWT sound install - home straight. The speaker wires were run around the cab under the roof and down the side behind the backhead and along the underside of the splashers to connect up with those from the decoder. The other four wires being connected up to the motor and pick-ups. All back together, and even with a fairly strong light the speaker doesn't stand out so I'm fairly pleased with that. Next job is to put it on the rolling road and sync the chuffs to the wheel rotation and adjust a few CV's as well as add a crew. Will post a video once it's all setup.

Andrew P Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 Very nice Ray, and as you say the speaker is invisible, I did a similar thing to a Hornby 08 before they introduced a sound one, I fitted the standard SWD speaker in the cab, painted it black, opened the doors, (as you can with the Hornby 08) and fitted crew hanging out.

Will post a video once it's all setup. Ray. Hi Ray, Very impressive. Does this mean you have used your own sound files and added them onto the decoder? On the basis of the work you have done, it should be easy straight forward to add a speaker into a 57xx..... I can feel another project coming on for Wharncliffe! Great work - thanks as ever for sharing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

tender Posted January 29, 2014 Author Share Posted January 29, 2014 (edited) Here's a quick video clip of the BWT. I'll try and do longer version when time permits. Sound file by YouChoos as was the M7 (usual disclaimer, just a very satisfied customer). The observant among you will have noticed a new LSWR station building taking shape to the replace the current resin cast version. (No prizes for guessing what prototype that was based on) Not sure if I will use this card kit as the final building but it will do as a template for a scratch build later. Ray. PS. The loud thump part way through the video was me dropping the controller on the floor while holding a light source in one hand and trying to pan the camera with the other.

7APT7 Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Hi Ray I will let you when I will be coming over with my Class 47 Zimo Sound loco, to see what you think mate.... I may not go at all to the Llanberis show as I doubt there will be anything new and exciting, and Jack from the MRL is not attending with his small modern image layout. Let me know it when is best to pop over to play dcc sound trains lol Hope you and Polly are both keeping well mate Jamie Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tender Posted February 8, 2014 Author Share Posted February 8, 2014 Polly's been busy this evening weathering some of the clay wagons On the left, out of the box with some rust painted on the under frame. On the right, out of the clay dries with a liberal coating of clay dust and lump clay load. Only another four more to do after she's made my supper. :mosking: Ray. 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tender Posted February 9, 2014 Author Share Posted February 9, 2014 (edited) Going back a few pages, I made a start on a goods shed but never got much further than a card shell http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/67862-camel-quay-a-north-cornwall-inspired-layout-in-4mm/?p=1084075 It probably can be seen on the layout in part in a few photos. I thought I would have a go at the Das clay and scribe method to finish this off. Firstly I roll out a thin layer of Das between two pieces of Plastikard about 0.8mm thick. The card is given a coat of neat PVA and the Das gently pressed on top and trimmed. PVA is also coated on the inside of the card to help stop it warping. (A tip from David Wright, an expert at this method who is often seen doing demos at exhibitions) Once I've completed the other sides it will be left overnight to dry out before scribing out the block work.

Andrew P Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 That's nice Ray, Yes David does some good work and his demos at shows are excellent, I can also recommend his book, Making Urban Buildings for Model Railways, (I'm not on commission even though there are some of my photos in his book) and his other book and tutorial Videos.

Popular Post tender Posted February 9, 2014 Author Popular Post Share Posted February 9, 2014 (edited) Popped out this afternoon for an hour or so and when I came back Polly had done this to my Class 22 that hauls the clay wagons. Don't know what you think, but for a first weathered Loco I reckon she's done a pretty good job. I'd put a 'like' on this myself if I could. Ray.

RMweb Premium southern42 Posted February 9, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 9, 2014 Thanks, Andy and all for the 'likes'. I should give some credit to Barry0, though. I'm just doing what he taught me at two Warley Show demos - looking at pics of the prototype being one of them. Polly 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

emt_911 Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 Evening. Really like the weathering on the 22. Looks like someone can give Andy a run for his money when it comes to weathering. Duncan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

tender Posted February 10, 2014 Author Share Posted February 10, 2014 Back to the Goods Shed tonight and all the shell has been covered with Das and allowed to dry out. Next scratching out the corner quoins and around the windows with a scriber. Tomorrow, scratching out the infill before giving it to Polly for painting.

tender Posted February 11, 2014 Author Share Posted February 11, 2014 (edited) Hi Andy, scratching out the stone work is mind numbingly tedious. It's taken me all day to do this much, grabbing a few minutes here and there in between watching the hour glass and the 'not responding' messages on the PC at work. Aren't computers wonderful, supposed to make us more efficient, but I sometimes wonder if we should have stuck with the abacus. It's going to be a few days before Polly gets to paint it. Ray.

tender Posted February 11, 2014 Author Share Posted February 11, 2014 Nothing much on tele this evening so I settled down on the sofa to a repeat of 'Midsomer Murders', scriber in hand and scratched away at the goods shed. Two hours later this is the result. Ray. 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
