It may be me doing something wrong

Thank you

Hello,

       You may find joining MERG a really helpful source of information for virtually anything you could possibly want to know about electrics for model railways.

The information available goes from basic stuff  for beginners through to state of the art stuff with help available from members too. The skills and knowledge available via  their web site and members is without doubt the best available for making informed and cost effective decisions about this part of railway modelling.

Hello,

        I think Martin of Templot mentioned what he used for resin printed chairs on the Templot site.

Hello,

         I thought it was something I had done that had turned Railway modelling on ebay from a pleasure to a pain. Finding this uncovers they have made it a pile of **** themselves. What is it about current times that working things are totally wrecked in virtually any sphere  of life.

Hello,

        The LNWR  0-8-0 G2 goods engine was not double headed to pull the large coal trains of its day as far as I am aware.

I think it was amazing such machines where still running till the end of steam, be it with Belpair boilers.

Says a lot for the original chassis design.

I have done a few old Triang wagon types with good results.

Hello,

       It would be nice to see how you cut the timbers from sheet ply. Do you have a link for Howes please?

trustytrev.

Hello,

      Scan anything you want to keep. Takes up less space and means you can donate the unwanted piles to someone else.

Hello,

       Never used them but you could try here.http://www.timbertracks.co.uk/index.php?route=product/category&path=5_6

Hello,

      Be careful you are getting rather close to contentious behaviour. That could have consequences for your future here.

Grow up Andy. You can go back onto moderation as I'm not putting up with snide comments this weekend.

Hello,

        Is going  "onto moderation"  more serious than receiving a "Warning for Contentious behaviour"? I hope so. I'm a glutton for punishment.

Hello Derek,

            Have you considered getting one of those spinning computer chairs. You can adjust the height and they are really mobile when you want to move about. They take all the weight off your joints and are quite manoeuvrable once you get the hang of it. They come up on freegle quite frequently so you could get one at the cost of a car trip at your local group.

trustytrev.

Hello.

         It's me again. I have kept quiet for a while but am somewhat confused. Contentious behaviour apparently warrants me receiving a warning . However others seem to engage in such behaviour without let or hindrance on a continuous basis without redress. I think it seems a clear case of discrimination against me. Dear moderators please get your act together.

trustytrev.

Hello,

       I have received a warning for Contentious behaviour by  a moderator of RMWeb. I assume it was my previous post on this thread which now appears to have been removed.

I wish to state it was never my intention to behave in a contentious manner and offer my unreserved apologies to any one whom  I may have offended or upset.

Hello,

       I have a Baltic tank front bogey without cow catcher. Is it worth a lot? It could be used at the rear as well but would not be genuine for that purpose. So it is definitely a front one.

Hello,

       I think it is all getting rather too complex. Surely a green led illuminating whichever way the turnout is set will show which routes are possible. Just follow the green led's along the route will show the way.

If it is not illuminated green it is not accessible. One would just need an on-off-on switch operated by the tie bar to illuminate the relevant led. Turnouts are usually set one way or the other depending on the route chosen.

I, too, have investigated this problem.

 

Physical examination of the slider track, plus online information from someone who had reverse-engineered the Walkabout, and at one time undertook repairs, confirmed that the problem in question is caused by wear of the carbon track of the variable resistor slider. This is part of the main circuit board and is thus irrepairable - more's the pity, as I have several duff ones!

 

John Isherwood.

Hello,

       Powdered pencil lead and superglue could be used to reconstruct the track of the variable resistor. Fiddly to do but possible.

Hello Jamie,

             You may find this interesting.

hello,

      That still does not give you a post number

Hello Gordon,

              I think most big stations had more than one signal box each with it's own section of the overall plan. Maybe you are trying to replicate the same thing but failing to consider this. After all you are trying to replicate a system that existed in such times and trying to get it to fit with modern technology?  I am sure the use of multiple boxes and section plans would have been avoided if technology at the time had permitted.

Regards.
