alfsboy Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 I have the very amp .A Marshall Micro amp .The secret is to remove the resistor spanning the headphone out put socket .Then plug a 4x10 cab into the headphone output by pushing the RCA speaker jack halfway in .That gets the trolley in your soul moving .Unbelievably loud and RAWKS .At last a thread on RM web I can contribute technical information ....sigh .

Glorious NSE Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 I recall from a visit to Morden on the Northern Line that there was no live rail in the maintainence sheds (would have made climbing into the pits entertaining I guess!) - traction power was acheived by connecting a lead from the train to a feed in the roof...

highpeak Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 I recall from a visit to Morden on the Northern Line that there was no live rail in the maintainence sheds (would have made climbing into the pits entertaining I guess!) - traction power was acheived by connecting a lead from the train to a feed in the roof... At the trolley museum where I volunteered we had a few areas where there was no overhead line, usually in carbarns that were intended for storing unrestored equipment. On the infrequent occasions we needed to venture into those places with whatever piece of equipment was the tow motor of the day the power feed was via a big extension cord hooked over the nearest piece of wire and connected to the pole on the tow motor. As you can imagine, reversing out was where the fun began. It was bad form to run over your own feeder wire, so close coordination with whoever was dragging the cable out of the way was needed.
