Carshalton & Sutton MRC It's time to reveal our new exhibition layout that is taking shape. I has taken a while but I'm sure you'll agree it's been worth the wait. More details later. Here are a few shots of it in be early stages. Dave

Guys. Check out this behaviour when plugging in. It works perfectly as a slave to another Cab. All wiring checked as OK. Also, is there a component missing in the centre of the still pic above the word 'GND'. Should it we a line of four? Voltage regulator has been replaced just in case. Is there a known mod for the Power Cab. Lastly, I backdated it to an old V1.23 chip. Makes no difference. Dave.

'K' Street Yard at SWING. Dave.

At Worthing SWING on Saturday. Dave.

Firstly, the reason I asked about it being a possible scam is that scams are everywhere these days. Secondly, how am I to know that you send out invoices 60-90 days in advance? Thirdly, the email has no mention of not needing to be paid until the loco is in stock. Dave.

Just a reminder that it is the Worthing SWING model show this Saturday. Dave

Hello Accurascale. A few weeks back I had an email asking me to pay for an order for 37001 I have with you with a deposit already paid. Is this a scam or do you really expect payment with no loco available please? Dave

'K' Street Yard.

I haven't seen this show mentioned anywhere as yet. Its at Durrington High School in Worthing. W Sussex. Seems to be mainly Industrial and Narrow Gauge railways. However, our H0 US based DCC layout 'K' Street Yard will be making a rare outing to the show. Carshalton & Sutton MRC

ClickC. It looks as though you might live in Sheffield but if you have a friend or someone who can attend ExpoEM in Bracknell Berks, they sell differing types of rail in yard lengths at the show. It's coming up very soon. Dave.

Carshalton & Sutton MRC. Our Club's US based layout is making a rare appearance at the Worthing Exhibition (SWING 2023) on Sat 20th May. Come and say hello if you are in Sussex http://swing.model-railway.org.uk/exhibition.php Dave.

The Trestle board has now had new terrain applied.

Now that the new track has been laid, the next step for Eight Dollar was to strip the scenery form the 'trestle' board in readiness for new details. Dave.

New third track is in place now together with the new crossings into the fiddleyard. Unlike previously, all six new crossings are 'Frog Juicer' controlled. Dave.

Sometimes you need to start up with the Power Cab on its own, then after, say, 10 secs, plug in the Pro Cab handset set to an acceptable Cab Number. It depends on the Power Cab hardware version. Try it. Dave.

A couple (or is it one) of locos will be making their debut at Watford. A pair of Class 73s. One is a dummy. Both have old Lima bodies mounted on new Hornby chassis. The powered one has twin motors fitted the two cut-and-shut chassis. The non-powered loco has a straight Hornby chassis but the motor bogie has no 'guts' in it. Due to Hornby's wheels being similar in profile to the old Lima wheels that won't run on Code 75, bothe locos are fitted with Heljan Class 14 wheelsets. Dave.

Elbow Lane is back on the road again in less than a week now. We're ate the South West Herts MRS Show at Watford on Sat 15th April.

Make one. Get the correct colour card.

Elbow Lane will be making the trip round the M25 from Sussex for the day.

Thanks everybody for everything. The layout with its two Switching power supplies wired together to give +12vdc - 0 - 12vdc for operating Tortoise motors made the grade at Ally Pally. No changes were needed from my original wiring of these but I always feel safer checking when using a piece of new equipment. Cheers. Dave.

Sorry but I haven,t the faintest.y

I've had a few of these. I'd recommend them for almost anything. Things to note are: The battery lasts just long enough for the amount of resin. Always switch off asap Easy to use tube. Glues almost anything Place a spot (or larger) of resin, hold the item in place and shine the LED. 5 - 8 sec. The UV LED light must be able to reach the resin. It cannot be in a hole etc. but it will shine through itself.

Less than a week now and with our Clubroom situation, Falcon Road is already loaded in three cars. Come and say hello. Dave.

As I said AndyID. They are not used for anything else (and will never be). The layout uses DCC. Cheers Dave.
