Re: Cheapo diesel sound card
You should be able to work out the version you have, from the numbers written on the chip. Can't leave it alone, despite what I said yesterday - frustration speaking! Yesterday evening I managed to find the little leaflet that came with it originally and that says it is version 5.20. I've been thro...

Re: Cheapo diesel sound card
Phil(lipy) You can give me a ring if you like, but it appears you are doing things correctly, but this particular receiver does not want to play? Phil.P Thanks Phil, but I've wasted enough time on this @~?%!! for something that isn't that important in the grand scheme of things, I've done little el...

Re: Cheapo diesel sound card
Moving the direction switch to the "forward" position should increment the fashing by one flash. So, if it flashes once, clicking the direction switch forward should make it flash twice, clicking it forward again should increase it to three. Is that what you mean by "input 3"? R...

Re: Cheapo diesel sound card
You should be able to work out the version you have, from the numbers written on the chip. I bought it brand new from Andy in Sept 2022, but there are no numbers written on the chip. I know the Rx65b had the version handwritten in gold, but this is the 41d and appears to be different in that respect.

Re: Cheapo diesel sound card
OK, progress of sorts, I think. 1) Tx 22 in program mode, that is fine. 2) Rx 41d-22-v5 in program mode, seems to be Ok but...( I'll come back to that in a sec) 3) Tried to set it to 3,2,1,1, but not sure that it has actually accepted it. 4) Connect everything up, and motor runs fine and sound is on...

Re: Gmeinder & Co loco
With filament you wouldn't get the same level of detail, for certain, but I'm not sure just how much you would actually lose. In due course, I'll probably upload the stl's on here, so you could try printing one of the front bonnet sides by itself and see if it works and whether you think it worth go...

Re: Cheapo diesel sound card
Thanks Phil. I'm in S. Northants, but neither of those exhibs are an option I'm afraid, but I appreciate the thought. Now that I have an idea what I'm aiming at I'll have another play at it myself when I have a spare minute, it isn't urgent. Having looked at your 3,2,1,1 on the programming table, I ...

Re: Gmeinder & Co loco
The resin all looks beautifully crisp. I must resume the struggle with my resin printer, if the rewards might be anything like that kind of quality! Crisp enough? :D IMG_0728.jpg The 'elephants foot' effect is due to being printed flat on the bed, but a couple of file strokes will soon sort that

Re: Cheapo diesel sound card
Phil, Rik,
Sorry, being a bit thick now. I kind of know what you mean by "follow P1" but I don't understand what that means in practice? David T's programming instructions are difficult enough for the 65b but for the 41d they are completely impenetrable.

Re: Baseboard Construction
It's a thorny question and everybody has a different opinion! I think you've done pretty well getting 25 years from ply but I can understand your reluctance to spend £200 a sheet to replace it. Personally, I'd suggest using felt covered decking boards on a framework of treated timber and held up by ...

Re: Cheapo diesel sound card
Thanks Phil. Yes I had already checked like that, and no sound was produced. I just put a servo on and that did nothing either. Eventually discovered that the signal wire had dropped off the Rx pcb but couldn't see it because of the heat shrink! Resoldered it and all working fine, both the servo and...

Re: Cheapo diesel sound card
Thanks guys, that makes sense, I think. So are you saying that if I take a wire from the Ch 1 output, thats all it needs? BTW, it is currently configured that way deliberately, because I was using the inertia knob on the Tx22 re-programmed Ch 4, to control the 360deg servo which raises and lowers th...

Re: Gmeinder & Co loco
Slowly slowly, getting there. This is the complete kit of parts, apart from the rear end face which is on the printer right now. The motor with long axles turned up from AliExpress a couple of days ago, despite them saying it would be 5th May! So the chassis is working although the wheels and motor ...

Re: Cheapo diesel sound card
OK, chaps I need some advice, or even just thoughts! I have a Deltang Rx41d-x-v5 lead-out on P2 passed through MA002b, configured as servo on ch4, sitting around doing nothing. I originally got it for the Austo-Daimler but didn't use it so it's currently working fine at controlling the Gmeinder chas...

Re: Nolwyn Valley Tramway
Thanks Drew, it could be useful. I've seen a couple of other comments on the subject so it could be of wider interest. I tried using Giphy when I did a fly-round of my Gmeinder loco drawings, but I wasn't sure if you gif-ised a video or did it directly using stills.

Thanks to Lonsdaler, for picking the next theme, which is:
Garden Railway Architecture - Any buildings, so long as they are part of a garden railway.
We have seen some lovely buildings over the years, so no excuses!

Re: HGLW loco tweak
As Steve said, very nice all round, Rik. What speaker are you using, the small one that comes with the sound unit or a larger one? Does anyone know the techs of their speaker, ie impedance and watts? I found the exact same looking speaker as the large one on AliExpress. That is a 4 Ohm 3W speaker. ...
