    I remember in the mid 50's travelling along Southampton Water seeing hundreds mothballed and anchored.

    Hey chaps I'm back. A bit said to see some of the comments criticising others. Each is entitled to their own "on subject" topics. If you don't like a particular contributor or he writes then just don't read them. You are adult after all.

    Andy, throw aah. Dave, Ixion. But I'm pursuing this purely for my own fun and amusement. I'm a great fan of using Duracell technology - many years ago I used to design things that would sit on the seabed for years and still function when required to do. Some clever tricks with passive components worked wonders. That's me I'm done - off to Hospital again on Friday.

    I did mention Ixions O gauge loco as my interest is 7mm.
  5. Ken Anderson
    I wondered if someone might mention cost. But mains electricity also costs money, it just gets hidden.

    I wonder why little mention has been made of throw away dry cells. I've been investigating the use of packs of say 4 or 6 AA Duracells, but still have to do more work. My feeling is that for something like the Ixion 0-6-0 one could get at least a couple of days playing trains at home or a days worth at an exhibition. Obviously such a loco doesn't just go round and around a loop continuously, and doesn't have to go full speed.

    Southport was in Lancashire when I was born and breed - and remains so as far as I am concerned.

    Enjoy it. Surely the best show of the Year.
  10. Ken Anderson
    Sounds interesting.

    Now I know why I like you. Not ICL but along the road at BAC's missile plant in Hangar 1!

    An alternative supplier of plywood is http://www.mobilemarinemodels.com/plywood-107-c.asp I built a model tugboat some years and had left over several sheets of thin ply now being utilised in my 7mm project. I had to chuckle at one of your earlier posts regarding your wife going to Sixways, I reckon she got the better part of the day. :-)
  13. Ken Anderson
    got it, thank you.

    Randy, one thing you could help with regarding the App and an iPad. Do I need to hook up to a Mac to get sound files from iTunes?
  15. Ken Anderson
    The URL for the Soundbyte App is changed. One needs to search for Black Cat Systems in the App Store, now £2.95. I like the idea for Club layouts of having a "Sound Operator." Could well suit someone who likes model railways but doesn't build.

    Off topic but the subject line made me smile. We used to live on the side of a hill in a house where I built a pond. Each year around March we'd see hundreds of frogs coming up the road to visit the pond. I used to put out signs to warn traffic about them.

    Ta.

    How do you remove the completed track from the tracing paper/double sided tape?
  19. Ken Anderson
    Be careful announcing you going to a show and perhaps leaving premises not secure. C&L were robbed recently when they attended a show. See http://www.finescale.org.uk

    Are you sure that you were Pay Corps? :-)
  21. Ken Anderson
    A great thread. Spent over an hour last evening in reading it! Has anyone produced any semaphore signals or gantries using these techniques?
  22. Ken Anderson
    You can solder wires directly to the 8 pin edge connector. Why do you need a 21 pin connector?
  23. Ken Anderson
    Little mention seems to have made to the RC technologies used in model boats. More importantly perhaps are the advancing technologies available in drones and UAVs.
  24. Ken Anderson
    It's starting to come together. Not sure of the paint finishes for the tunnel mouth. I live in a small Spanish seaside town and it's not easy to buy modelling materials.
  25. Ken Anderson
    I've a number of 1 and 2mm sheets of ply left over from a previous hobby/project which I intend to make use of here. Here is the start of the construction of the tunnel by making a ply armature which will be overlaid with Modroc. Work on the track will have to wait a few more weeks as I will have to wait for C&L to get back to normal after their break-in and robbery last weekend.
