Looks fantastic Russ, echoing the above I can really feel the different locations around the county. Cheers guys After a few false starts this winter due to restoring car parts I'm really getting into it again. One thing 8m messing about with is sound I have a gaugemaster rural sound module but I've been looking at the BBC sounds library. I don't want to make it irritating though. The unit I have is very ambient and you don't have really realise its on. I did have a bit of a woble the other day with constant derailment of some Bachmann mk1s, turns out all of them had wrong back to back measurements once they have been adjusted the fault went away 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold russ p Posted December 24, 2021 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted December 24, 2021 Been messing around with sound this week, fitted a digitrains sound decoder and stay alive to an Oxford janus and some TTS decoders to some Hornby 31s which technically are 30s so until a decent mirlees decoder comes along which is unlikely I'll stick with the Hornby ones 10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Malc Cheers Malc I haven't been far, I mess around with cars in the summer but this year I've been busy with a restoration project so it's taken me a bit longer to get into modelling. There is still a bit of sorting to do on the quayside and colourlights to wire up then the layout is more or less complete. Then there is loads of weathering to do on stock and road vehicles. I'm quite pleased with the progress as I started building baseboards on Christmas eve 2018 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold russ p Posted December 26, 2021 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted December 26, 2021 Got one of those little cube cameras which I've had on a wagon and in inaccessible places today. The resolution isn't the best and in the first one my driving isn't either. What looks reasonably accurate from above is far too fast from within the train 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold russ p Posted December 31, 2021 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted December 31, 2021 Been fitting decoders to my 15s today , as there doesn't seem yto be any decent sound I've just fitted Ruby decoders 11 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian D Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 That's a great selection of pics Russ. I know that the prototypes very notoriously unreliable, is that why the train is double headed in case one 15 fails? All the best for the New Year.

RMweb Gold russ p Posted January 2, 2022 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted January 2, 2022 Had a play about with some background sounds today with speakers in the signalbox and booking hall . The clip I used for the box has a few too many bells but it's proved the concept works Not sure why the 47 goes back and forth in the Station it was when F26 was operated which is supposed to be brake dump The background sounds are off the BBC sounds Archive 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LNERGE Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 I rather brutally dressed the rails with a course file on some of my bridges on my garden railway. It looks awful but gives the bridges a nice rumble when trains go over. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks awful but gives the bridges a nice rumble when trains go over. It does make a plasticy rumble when trains go over it as its made up of plastic girders and is hollow. I would love to find a way of adding the sound of wheels going on and off the deck Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold russ p Posted January 19, 2022 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted January 19, 2022 My Ruston 48DS came back from digitrains this morning fitted with a sound decoder and stay alive, I'm really pleased with the result 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold russ p Posted January 19, 2022 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted January 19, 2022 A sound decoder also turned up for my 25/0 which I've converted from a 24. Not sure whether any 25/0s ever made it to norfolk but I have a bit of a soft spot for them It's working a summer Saturday train to the Midlands or South Yorkshire 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
