Help with Point Motors! At wits end
Piemanlarger replied to JohnR's topic in Modelling Questions, Help and Tips
I recently had one of my five pm2 point motors only fire one way. Powered off cdu with gaugmaster frog juicer. As others said it was alignment issue. The point motor needed moving about 3 mm and it's fine now. -
So with the prospect " normality " of some sort returning in the later half of 2021, are any more s.wales shows thinking of going ahead?? ( neath st.johns of course noted)

My local retailer told me there is no sign or news of this he can find! So I'm presuming easter is not on the timetable ? Least not this year!
-
Any updates on this ??

Cwm Risca Halt ( mk2 smaller version page 3 onwards)
Piemanlarger replied to Piemanlarger's topic in 7mm+ modelling
Its turning into a busy day on Cwm Risca. The unfitted open wagons are picking up the sacks of things that grow on Cwm risca farm to be taken off to somewhere for selling. Possibly the docks? Anyway. The 3 and 4 plank wagons have had some light weathering with powders. -
Shall watch this with interest as I've got to learn to uncople quickly also.
-
Haha I'm like you in being a rattler myself. I've got an airbrush kit unopened for 7 months as a gift under the layout! I must try it soon as I want to do the chassis and wheels on my locos!

Cant have a welsh layout without Coal ! So Sion the shovel is busy loading up sacks for local delivery. Sacks are skytrex, painted grey and then weathered with podwers -
Hope this turns out ok for you. I'm awaiting the Dapol 45xx. Still waiting lol !

Removing the trip tray / stand pulled the platform up ! I used pva on platform and gorilla glue on the stand !! -

With one eye on a future extension "Enging shed" board, the platform mounted water Crane had always bothered me. A halt is too small for it and with a ( Bachmann)water tower in the goods yard if needs be top ups can be done there. So can you spot the difference??? I'll give you a clue. Water crane will have to find a home on the " shed" board. When I've built it !! -
Search and join "The collieries of wales" on fbook It's got alot of info on Welsh mines etc.

Such sad news and indeed unexpected. Geoff always looked after us as exhibitors I must say. Condolences to the family.

I admire your work and patience! -

Just a light bit of weathering powders on the under frames and the odd brush stroke to pick out details in the planking / frame work. Less is more to start. -

Couple of point levers added to give who ever ( fireman unless I buy a "shunter" figure) is on shunting duties something to pull ! Also started some light weathering on some wagons -
I've only got std dynamis and been using it since it came out in about 2004 ish? I've not come across your problem but haveyou considered the base station or handset is faulty??

Might remove the platform mounted water Crane? It can go on the extension engine yard board? As is all passengers are on right side of platform otherwise -

People day today. Decided the train inspector instead of being hid in a tank engine cab would be better seen having a chat with the signal man. Couple of passengers on the platform await the auto train. Mr.Evans is in his fav location taking railway photos! Got the coal yard man to sort out and his sacks of coal plus some cases for the loading dock? Unless they end up in the 3 plank wagon? -
Be interesting to see how this runs with folks. I'm looking at the Dapol dccxsound version.

Fitted train o magic to my 72x ( 0 gauge uncompensated) that otherwise would not run smoothly on my branch line tracks ! Result it's working fine. Thus train o matic power packs now going in all my locos!
-
That's ok. I only want to adjust the volume of certain things like coal shoveling. Being able to move a sound ( say shoveling sound) from it's current f key so all locos have it on same f key will be an advantage. So reading up on the sprog fully will be this weekends task. I have a feeling an order shall be following?

That's a bonus. Although all my chips ( that's only 5 at present) are usually v5 or 4 I might use zimo again one day. Cheers
