Cheers, Bob. Thanks Bob It's a lovely layout and even better in the flesh if I can get Edgelane half as good I'll be happy. It's really gave me the urge to really get going on the layout, hopefully I'll get a few hours in this week. Cheers, Paul 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold PjKing1 Posted September 22, 2014 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted September 22, 2014 Those videos were great!! luved the signals.... Thanks Neil The signals were great, made out of brass kits, think it was the first time they'd been working whilst out at a show to. Everything was interlinked with the controller so you just set the route, it was really interesting to use. Cheers, Paul Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold PjKing1 Posted September 24, 2014 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted September 24, 2014 Evening all Not much to report, but I've soldered the power feed wires to all but one point and two catch points and one of those catch points still needs to be fitted. So tomorrow nights plan is get all the points on the first board wired and tested, then if all that works and I've got time, I'll make the last catchpoint and fit the point motor, think I'll have to get some connectors though over the weekend to connect the wiring between the boards. If I can get all the track electrics up and running before Sunday I'll be very happy. Hopefully a couple of pics with tomorrow's update.

RMweb Gold PjKing1 Posted September 25, 2014 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted September 25, 2014 Well here's an update as promised but no pics sorry. Just spent a couple of hours wiring and testing, two of the points aren't switching properly so I think the motors needs realigning and adjusting and the wiring needs swapping over on the diamond crossing but apart from that it's getting there. I would of carried on tonight but I know I'd start making mistakes, (the joys of being up at 4.30 each day). One thing I'm not happy with is the wiring though, it's a bit rushed and untidy, because I'm wanting it out if the way, but I want it don't properly so I'm going to sort the wiring as I go along tomorrow night, just means it's gona take a bit longer to sort it all out, suppose it'll be worth it in the long run. Also to distract me is a new motor for the not so well D6992, so hopefully fitting that can be a distraction if the wiring gets to much. I'm going to mill a bit of the chassis block out to, whilst it's stripped ready for a speaker when I eventually get one. More tomorrow!!

RMweb Gold PjKing1 Posted September 25, 2014 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted September 25, 2014 Absolutely nothing to do with Edgelane Junction, but thought I'd post this video I took over a year ago, trying to bring back what I remembered of lime street with the diesels in the centre roads, although all blue in my day unfortunately. A bit of imagination is needed as it's filmed on a kitchen work top, but it's better than pictures of my wiring Cheers, Paul 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold PjKing1 Posted September 27, 2014 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted September 27, 2014 Well the first board is wired and up and running!! Spent a couple of hours today sorting and tidying the wiring and it works!! The only downside was that the cable I bought the other day to connect the control panel to the point motor feeds doesn't work, but not to be beaten I just connected the control panel directly and let it dangle! The wiring The offending cable! And finally a couple of videos of the first test run. Tomorrow board two and the new catch point.
