Doughnut Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 Many thanks Richard. It's probably my old laptop I'm uploading from, which is a bit slow too. Dave Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GWR Joe Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 Love the videos etc Richard, I did mention this on your you tube video but honor oak is a good example of what you're after. Especially as it's an old Southern Region station. This is a picture looking down towards Norwood Junction/Croydon Also you mentioned the tvs, well this is London Waterloo east, the second display is a TV still Hope these help with some ideas of cluter Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
P.C.M Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 Hi Richard, I enjoyed your latest video on detailing your station. I have been collecting some more people to detail mine. I have also use old Hornby platform and canopies for part of my station on Llanbourne. Dart castings do some nice whitemetal figures in the Monty's models section on the website which will give you more variety i also got a pack of station loudspeakers L124 which you might quite like.

hybridangel77 Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 Hi Richard You have good download speed....I have 150 meg broadband with virgin but I only ever get at most 30-40 meg download speed over the WiFi. Hence why it takes me forever to do my videos. I have spoken to virgin so many times about this and they tell me that's just the way it is...I have the feeling they are fobbing me off.

What sort of device are you using on the wifi? If it doesn't have a wireless N network card you will experience a max download speed of around 40 to 50 Mbps. Devices with wireless N network cards support up to 300 Mbps. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

richard w Posted March 11, 2015 Author Share Posted March 11, 2015 god knows mate....how will i know if it has a wireless network card....sorry i have absolutely no idea about internet and wifi lol No worries. You can usually find out on a laptop by right clicking my computer > manage > device manager > network adapters. Your adapter should be listed under that and have in it something like 802.11a/b/g/n. If you only see a/b/g then your card is not N. With an N capable card wifi speeds should be better, but its unlikely you'll get the full 150 over wifi. A number of other factors play a part in how fast it will be. On a wifi connection I'm getting about 90mbps. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

richard w Posted March 11, 2015 Author Share Posted March 11, 2015 Back on topic I've taken some pics of the station platforms. I've still got some stuff to add such as benches and bins. I'm also thinking of changing the leds for some surface mount types. I've got 3mm leds in there at the moment as thats what I had to hand at the time. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love your lighting, they look about right with the brightness. Not bad what you can do with the Hornby kits is it, well done Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
P.C.M Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 That Poster anywhere for 3 Pound brings back some memories. I did that a few times, you could get plenty of class 33 and 50 haulage in on those days though every train was packed. Cheers Peter. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Removed a/c Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 Very nice ! EJ is one of my favourite layout and I always look forward to the YouTube videos. Just a though how about painting the round end of the LED just to take the edge off the spotlight effect? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
richard w Posted March 14, 2015 Author Share Posted March 14, 2015 Decided I wasn't happy with the 3mm leds. So I've swapped them out for smd ones and the difference is huge. Light spread is much better now and they actually look scale rather than the somewhat oversize 3mm leds. 16 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doughnut Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 Now that does look the business. Agree, the SMD's are much less 'spotlighty' than the original 3mm ones. Top stuff. Dave Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
