Speed Matching Locos in DCC.
Просмотров 2875 лет назад
Observing what speed others modellers run their trains at, I decided to Speed Match ALL of my Locos with a Top Speed of 30 MPHs. Now all my locos operate with the same speed range and making it easier to double/triple head locos when consisting. Operating in 28 Speed Step mode, my NCE Procab's Speed Step reading is displaying the approximate MPH the loco is travelling at. You need to have a Spe...

This performance is more than adequate from this small Branch Line loco.

My mate Alistair did a Clinic at the Epping Seminar about his NSW Great Southern Railway layout, today we operated on it. What a fantastic layout. Alistair's Junee Roundhouse, Coal Stage and Station are phenomenal. What a great day. For more details, see Alistair's 2018 SCMRA Epping Seminar Clinic at: tinyurl.com/y8yogzr5
Signalling for the single line section on the Main North.
Просмотров 5266 лет назад
I've upgraded the Signalling on the single line between Murrurundi and Werris Creek by installing Starting Semaphores "inside" the Loops, just like what the prototype did. This provides "better" bi-directional running on this 40 metre single line section of track. Hopefully Operators will be kept apart. Operation of the Semaphores is by Occupancy Detectors feeding a Tam Valley Octopus III Servo...

    Looks like a rather nice Beyer-Garratt loco, might be well worth a bit more of a close-up or two. Also, the lower level, with its overhead catenary, is intriguing. It appears that that portion of the layout would certainly worth showing. Well-done catenary is always of interest.

    It's great to see that Gosford isn't too far away from Murrurundi these days 🙂, it looks like a short journey now ; your layout looks awesome from what I can see of it & I'd love to come & visit you someday just to see the layout while we chat trains. Thanks for sharing your video Marcus.

    Many Thanks for sharing your video Marcus , it IS inspiring to those of us rail fans out there who love the same things as you do , I've just subscribed to your channel & are now following you on Flickr as well ( as Gunzelman ) , although I'm not into DCC - I'm guessing that I shall have to learn it some day soon & I hope that you'll like my videos on You Tube & pics on Flickr as well ; If you haven't seen my "Kev's Workshop" series of videos or website as yet - there's plenty to see when you have a chance.

    Don't those NSWGR 48 Class have an ALCO 254C Diesel fitted? Also there are way better horns to choose from on the ESU Select via CV48. Or use the V.0 and choose from a horn from the ESU Library.

    Beautiful engines, my friend also got one and installed a Tsunami 2 decoder in it, it was a bit jerky at first but after a couple of runs, was a great smooth runner. One problem encountered was 1 of the pick up tabs somehow got bent and caught in the spokes. after removing the wheel set, rebending it and gluing it onto the small sprue it ran fine. Again beautiful engines

    Hi Marcus, i have just come accross your video on the tube and i was so excited as i have started to build an Ho scale of the Junee Roundhouse, my problem has been getting some relevance into the actual measurements of the building, i have got the basics off the museum website and some footage from a drone coverage, with this i have down loaded various shots and counted bricks in the walls for height etc, but in most parts i am only guessing. i have had a good look at Alistairs Seminar clinic and i am so impressed by the detailed drawings. would it be possible to get Alistairs email and to ask him if there is any thing that i can do to replicate his building. looking forward to hearing from you. My email address is : whking@ts.co.nz Cheers William King (Bill)

I am grateful to you both and will probably be in touch with some more requests if you don't mind. Thankyou for your time. and will hopefully send you some photos of the progress.

      Hi Tony. Sorry for the late reply. Thanks for the nice words. I found that you live in Brisbane. Just last night, 7 Queenslanders attending the MRNSW 35 Convention had fun operating on the Main North with whatever they wanted to run. My Brisbane LTD even got a run and a D57 hauled train was banked up the Ardglen Bank and then onto Tamworth. When in Sydney contact me on mammann@optusnet.com.au. Regards Marcus
