Jon Roach<p>Free good fings Heute:</p><p>1. I took a lot of deep breaths and did not reply to a reply-toot that bare vexed me.</p><p>2. All 20 3d-printed PCA009 wagon chassis have their black base coats. Wheels and couplings come next, and I have a corresponding number of wagon bodies to paint.</p><p>3. Smooth changeover of annex guests today, plus enough of a gap to get the washing done (the machine lives in the annex).</p><p><a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/3GoodThings" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>3GoodThings</span></a> <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/ModelRailway" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ModelRailway</span></a></p>
Phil Haigh<p>Model railway update.</p><p>Branch line station boards nearly ready for track. I just need to drill holes for signals, then run cables from the signal controller - which has not been programmed, because… no track yet!</p><p>Spent some time this afternoon checking block detection on the rest of layout and labelling a track map ready for setting up in JMRI. Found three wiring issues and fixed two of them, one more left to fix. Then found that the auto reversers are a blind spot for block detection (this is the first time I’ve tried to check block detection specifically). </p><p>Maybe the track tester I’m using to trigger occupancy isn’t drawing enough current. Hopefully the current draw from an engine will be enough for the Digitrax BDL168. I’m hoping it will be, because the alternative will be to try other types of reverse instead. I’ll find out tomorrow when I run a train round.</p><p>Hoping to get the track layout into JMRI over the next week.</p><p><a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/ModelRailway" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ModelRailway</span></a> <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/Progress" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Progress</span></a></p>
Tom<p>Yeah this is nice. <a href="https://cupoftea.social/tags/ModelRailway" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ModelRailway</span></a></p>
Phil Haigh<p>Building a two arm semaphore signal today with illuminated lanterns. The signal arms will be servo driven by these little beauties, once the circuit is perfected I’ll be getting some boards made together with 3D printed mounts so that they just slot into the baseboards. The circuits will be 12v powered and take a single input for each arm 0v or 12v for the two arm positions. <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/ModelRailway" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ModelRailway</span></a> <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/OOScale" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>OOScale</span></a></p>
Tom<p>The DCC decoder specifically set up by Accurascale for the Buckjumper arrived today. Means I can take advantage of the meaty stay alive hidden inside it, the flickering firebox now works, and it moves like this <a href="https://cupoftea.social/tags/ModelRailway" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ModelRailway</span></a></p>
Tom<p>Important discovery! If I put my 3D figure next to my Paddington figure, I can make it look like he’s holding my hand!! <a href="https://cupoftea.social/tags/ModelRailway" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ModelRailway</span></a></p>
Tom<p>Paddington approves because of the matching outfits. <a href="https://cupoftea.social/tags/ModelRailway" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ModelRailway</span></a></p>
Tom<p>It’s just such a handsome and charismatic little engine. I bet they’d have been interesting to watch running <a href="https://cupoftea.social/tags/ModelRailway" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ModelRailway</span></a></p>
Tom<p>Put the Buckjumper on the box file layout. Looks at home. <a href="https://cupoftea.social/tags/ModelRailway" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ModelRailway</span></a></p>
Tom<p>Turns out you can make it run imperceptibly slowly. <a href="https://cupoftea.social/tags/ModelRailway" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ModelRailway</span></a></p>
Tom<p>Yes, this makes me happy. She’s running in nicely too. <a href="https://cupoftea.social/tags/ModelRailway" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ModelRailway</span></a></p>
Tom<p>It's Lowestoft, damnit! <a href="https://cupoftea.social/tags/ModelRailway" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ModelRailway</span></a></p>
Tom<p>I will say, also as an East Anglian lad, nearly sent it back just because of this misspelling in the history booklet. <a href="https://cupoftea.social/tags/ModelRailway" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ModelRailway</span></a></p>
Tom<p>Also I have a bag full of tiny destination boards of places in London/Essex/Hertfordshire that it’d conceivably run to in service. Although this particular engine in this livery only worked as the pilot for Liverpool Street so didn’t really carry them. Might fit a couple anyway as a novelty. <a href="https://cupoftea.social/tags/ModelRailway" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ModelRailway</span></a></p>
Tom<p>I also saw the real thing a month or so ago at Bressingham. The sole survivor. <a href="https://cupoftea.social/tags/ModelRailway" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ModelRailway</span></a></p>
Tom<p>Also pretty inside <a href="https://cupoftea.social/tags/ModelRailway" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ModelRailway</span></a></p>
Tom<p>Goodness me that’s pretty. <a href="https://cupoftea.social/tags/ModelRailway" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ModelRailway</span></a></p>
Tom<p>Meanwhile, pretty box! As an East Anglian lad, in the end the desire to have an East Anglian loco was too strong <a href="https://cupoftea.social/tags/ModelRailway" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ModelRailway</span></a></p>
Tom<p>A short clip from earlier of the restored 4144 hauling some coaches. (One especially for <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://beige.party/@miffyhelen" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>miffyhelen</span></a></span>) <a href="https://cupoftea.social/tags/ModelRailway" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ModelRailway</span></a></p>
Tom<p>4144 is back and looking better than ever. <a href="https://cupoftea.social/tags/ModelRailway" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ModelRailway</span></a></p>
