Have you tried swapping out the switch you are using to operate the tortoise ?
-
They have some available here & the price seems good as well. https://www.dbmodels.co.uk/shop/Dapol?cat=8

Resistance can build up in the rail joiners after a while which would lead to voltage drop & running problems.

Dug out a 12 volt Dc adaptor & connected up vis the yellow wires. Success it works fine so I guess the controller just takes an uncontrolled 12 volt DC output. I'll use it on my study test tracks so I won't need to go downstairs every time I want to test a loco. Here's a photo of my study test tracks. Dc in front & DCC at the rear. Thanks everyone for your help & suggestions. Tony.

Thanks everyone for the replies & advice. I'll take a further look later. I'll start with a low AC input to the two yellow wires & report back.

Here are a few photos. There is some writing on the back but its long since faded. It looks like use "something" supply DC ? When I get a chance I'll try a DC adaptor & see what happens ? Tony

Hello Everyone. While rooting around in some boxes I discovered a Colworth direct drive DC controller ? Its a panel mounted unit that i used many years ago. However I have no idea what the input voltage should be & can't seem to find any information anywhere on the net. Can anyone shed some light or have any information relating to the unit ? Thanks. Tony.

Never use rail joiners to carry power as over time they will eventually fail. Power bus wire & droppers is the way to go and you can never have to many droppers.

I understand the roof will be the same colour as the lettering. -
Have you any idea what the running number of this car is please or where this photo may be found ? Can't make it out from the photo.

Hello John. There are quite a few photos here which should give you a good idea. https://www.google.ie/search?rlz=1C1CHBF_enIE756IE756&biw=1920&bih=949&tbm=isch&sa=1&ei=BTHuWpWALtOtgAbriJvADA&q=gwr+turntables&oq=gwr+turntables&gs_l=img.12...0.0.0.189790.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0..0.0....0...1c..64.img..0.0.0....0.nKLegQ6LlIk -
There is further discussion on the subject here which may be of interest to you. http://www.modelrailforum.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=49682&st=0

I think the £100 was a bit tongue in cheek As has been said its only worth what someone is willing to pay for it. A list of stock would have been interesting ?
-
You're welcome Bill.
-
Yes Bill perfectly safe to use in your CMX.

If I select digital download why should it make a difference in price if I don't live in the UK ? EDIT: Why should the offer be only available to UK residents ? If its a digital download it should make no difference. I do wonder about these companies sometimes.

You must select the subscription type underneath. You can select print, online or both.

They are adjustable for all scales according to the adverts. "It is versatile in another way too – While it comes pre-set for 16.5mm or OO/HO track, we include in the pack full sets of spacers for 9mm/N/009/HOe, 12mm/TT, HOm, HO Narrow gauge. OO, HO and ON30… even EM and P4 users are not forgotten either, as we included a set of spacers that works for both!" https://www.dccconcepts.com/product-category/specialised-model-accessories/dccconcepts-rolling-roads/

But that doesn't mean it doesn't happen. I'm sure it happens all the time.

Oxford Rail announces - OO gauge GWR Dean Goods
amdaley replied to MGR Hooper!'s topic in Oxford Rail
The pipe on the right hand side of the Oxford model is the ATC as the Oxford model isn't fitted with front steam heat connections and pipework. Very few Deans Goods were so fitted only those which were used for passenger traffic. Locos in France did in some cases have a small diameter pipe along the full length of the right hand side but this was for the air brake equipment that they were fitted with. The ATC gear having been removed before entering military service in WW2. -

Sorry about the delay in getting back to you. The pipe running the whole length of the loco on the left hand side of the footplate is the vacuum pipe.
