  3. Glad you liked it Keith, this is a keeper (famous last words!)
  4. Your 18w iron isn't hot enough for normal solder, you need low melt solder or a bigger wattage iron.

  6. Have a look here may give you some ideas http://members.trainweb.com/bedt/IndustrialLocos.html
  7. What is the purpose of the bottom track, because the head shunt doesn't look big enough for a loco, never mind anything else To me this a case for, less is more
  8. It's 1980 and the Conrail local spots a tank car at Lakehurst logistics, there only 12 months before the ageing Alco C424 meets the cutting torch!!!
  9. Pulling Arnold steel, those tracks are really creaking!!!!
  10. The lines around the thumb wheel are a bit of a clue, they decrease down wards, looks like you've got one wired up wrong
  11. Sunday was, track cleaning and running some of my earlier period stuff
  12. Had a look inside the LZV100 yesterday, looks like there's hole already for a battery holder, (wonder why they didn't add one), instead of a battery, it looks like a straight forward job, once you get the battery out, has any body gone down the battery holder replacement, was it as straight forward as it looks.
  13. What's your concern, the unit is on for 6-7 hours at an exhibition and the CR2450 is a non rechargeable battery, there must be something in the circuity of the Lenz lzv100, to stop the battery getting a charge and blowing up, now thinking about the advice given, the 5 hour charge and reset seems a waste of time, if in deed the battery is dead.
  14. more searching came up with this from RS https://uk.rs-online.com/web/p/button-batteries/1916772
  15. Sent A & H an email got the same advice, didn't work for me still have error 97, looks like i've two choices, A & H fit new battery or i fit a CR2032 battery holder, will take it to bits, to see how big a job it's going to be and if i'm able to do it.
  16. Need help, getting error code 97, which is internal battery needs replacement, the battery needed seem to be rare as rocking horse droppings. I've tried a reset which hasn't cleared the error code, any suggestion or a fix for my problem.
  17. I've with drawn my statement Hope it's a successful day and plenty turn up, also hope there'll be some photos of the layouts on here. Ray
  18. I'm looking hard at the photo too!! Playing trains today!
