Garden Railway Forum

That's really good, sign writing has always been a skill I have envied, simply because it's something that I have tried and just can not do, well done

Just so people know, the guidelines for selling on the forum have been updated to include, photos, price and a rough location. This is the information people need to make an informed decision.

Personally I wouldn't go to Tony as I have had some unpleasent and very offensive dealings with him. Just my personal experience, but loads of other really helpful friendly people out there.

I have this sort of thing, depends on the dimensions you need?

Could you just draw something up so I know what sort of thing you are looking for, I may, or may not have something already or that can be adapted / modified.

I have managed to actually run a train today! Link to the Video: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/t77i5sx37e00rtaipwtg6/first-goods-service-this-year-HD-1080p.mov?rlkey=i4eabu0fdr4xcj96cehurbkm3&dl=0 The locomotive is the one I have just fitted the "Cheapo Chinese Sound Card" to. I have...

Thanks for your replies guys. I wasn't having ago at anyone in the thread and like I said I did find it interesting reading, It's OK Rod, I don't think anyone thought you was "having a go" at anyone. Electrics can be baffling that is for sure, electronics even more so, even for me. I was ...

On reading this thread I am glad it's all worked out Philip, yet for me and I presume most of use who are not that well informed with electricity stuff, buying a 'Cheapo Sound Card' isn't something that would be worth it for use, possibly because we would end up blowing stuff up with all those resi...

Not much on this for a while, mojo isn't all that high at the moment. I have not rivited it, added detail, nor weathered it, not even added buffers, but it is as it is and makes a nice base for a loco. Other than adding buffers, that's probably as far as I will go on this for now. Sorry it isn't to ...

PS. It's probably advisable to protect the link from P3 to the soundcard with a 1k resistor, or maybe even a 4.7k resistor if you're powering the soundcard with 7.4v Rik PS - Now corrected the label for the switch and added the 1k resistor to the wiring diagram (see above) I am no electrician nor t...

That's pretty much the wiring I used for mine, but without the buck convertor, the sound card I bought can handle 2 x li-ion batteries (8.4v) with no issue so just run them direct from the power input of the RX.

Just to update on this, from my POV. I've been in discussions with Andy because I had to get him to reprogram it before when I couldn't, and thought he might have some insight on what I've been doing wrong. It has been more and more unexpected things and not accepting inputs. Eventually we went rig...

Such a shame

This is what I want, the item in the photo isn't the size I want, it would have 54 printed on the belt and not 42... I know there is £3.33 postage on these but cheap enough at 34p each https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32814325775.html Thanks for that Steve. :thumbright: They are not wide enough unfo...

Yet again while looking at a small-scale manufacturer's website, I saw a note saying "at the present time, we can not sell kits to Canada, the U.S.A., or countries in the E.U." What in particular are you looking at buying? There is a chance that someone in the UK might buy whatever it is ...

Can you borrow a prog 4 to programme it with, or borrow a different TX, like a TX20? I have a Prog4 but it no longer works with the serial cables/Coolterm.. it's all obsolete. Nobody I know within half a days journey to borrow from ( I think you are about the nearest! :roll: ) unfortunately and it'...

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...

Well it works on a standard RX setup, sorry about the out of focus video :oops: Next thing is getting a servo output on a Micron RX603. Well, I need to talk to you about a soundcard, so I can give you instructions on how to configure a spare 'P' output to be a servo, as well.. 8) Phil.P Erm, yup, t...

BTW, I am not sure if all your images and videos are stored online as I don't use Apple anything's so wouldn't have a clue, but you should ensure you have a backup of all those, be it on an extra hard disk or backed up online, or both. This is from someone that lost all their photos when two hard dr...
