‘G’ Scale Thomas the Tank Engine - with smoke & lights
Просмотров 6873 года назад
Thomas the Tank Engine large scale modified by adding LED lights and a large bore Seuthe Smoke Unit. The Smoke unit is the 6 VOLT model and current is supplied by track feed via a bridge rectifier, so it works in both directions, and has a voltage regulator circuit delivering around 5.3v so it is receiving near maximum voltage which gives a good smoke output. Percy the Saddle Tank Engine has be...

Another of my primary hobbies-Music. Here I play John Lennon’s Song “Jealous Guy”. Penned in 1971. Released 1985 and became a Billboard Hot 100 hit for Bryan Ferry and Roxy Music. John Winston Lennon 1940 - Dec 8th 1980. RIP I was dreaming of the past And my heart was beating fast I began to lose control I began to lose control I didn't mean to hurt you I'm sorry that I made you cry Oh my I did...
G scale Thomas the Tank Engine with lights & smoke!
Просмотров 1364 года назад
Bachmann G scale Thomas fitted with LEDs in the head & tail lamps and firebox. A #1 Seuthe Smoke Unit was fitted. It is a 10mm bore and a 5 to 6 volt operating voltage. I built a voltage regulator circuit which outputs approx 5.5v so the smoke unit is receiving near maximum operating voltage irrespective of the speed. Grandchildren love it!

what brand of liquid flux do you use?
I favour that from “Wizard Models”. It is the 6%. I have also used that supplied by “London Road” “Frys” flux for plumbing is also very good. It’s a paste and only requires a minimal amount so can last a long time.
I do Christmas lights on a grand scale and do a lot of soldering of wire to wire, wires to circuit boards and printed light tracks and I have always used a home made flux (secret recipe) that has been given to me by our IT guy at work. It works well, but is a bit thick and smokes a lot. I have not seen a wire join to a track that quickly. I love the fact that your flux is brushed on so lightly like water and works so well. What concentration is your Phosphoric acid mix for these projects?
Hi Peter. This is 6%.
Its always a pleasure to watch a clip that is easy to follow, comes with all the required cautions, and most importantly works!
Great tutorial! I was getting so frustrated with soldering until I saw this video. Now my soldering is going swimmingly. One question: I've heard people warn against using acid flux due to the fact that it has the potential to cause corrosion over the subsequent months/years. Have you had any issues with corrosion? In my experience, it seems to all boil off nicely once I apply the solder. Now I've found a method that works for me I'd be hesitant to change it again. Many thanks. Matt.
Hello Matt, thanks for your comment. Fluxes by their nature are corrosive and when heated dissipate well. I have used 6% Flux for donkeys years and haven’t had any breakages with multi-strand wire or indeed with one core wires (even down to 28AWG copper Kynar). It can be a problem if not addressed properly and to do that only a ‘wipe’ is required, not ‘flooding’ of flux on the wire. For repetitive cable work, LED soldering to brass etc for the lights I make, I also keep a paint brush in water and wipe away (or rinse) any residue. It generally evaporates quickly with the joint still being warm. The old saying “cleanliness is next to Godliness” is very applicable here so it’s always important to keep everything clean and dry. Paper towel rolls are a big feature in many aspects, whether it’s for drying off excess flux/water or for mopping up after a spill!! Take care, and thanks again for your comment.
Fantastic! Thanks Bob, that's really helpful (and reassuring!). Much appreciated. :) @@bobsmodelrailways
great vid... you break it down well! 👍👍
Superb video, now confident to have a practice. Thank you
Great video .... what temp do you sue to solder track, please?
My iron runs at 450°
Brilliant to watch 👍
Thank you.
Wow Bob, Loved that, superb. 👍
Thanks Andy. Can send you the manuscript if you’d like to try it.
@@bobsmodelrailways No thanks Bob, I have enough new material to work on at the moment, we've just added about 20 new Songs so that we have more variety between Pubs and Social Clubs. Thanks anyway. 👍
@@andypeters6336 no problem at all. Keep it up, a great hobby as well as our trains!
Excellent playing of this classic Stylistics song! I subscribed and liked! I hope you will like my trumpet cover version of "I'm Stone In Love With You" enough to subscribe as well: ruclips.net/video/bFbJ0wBkAYM/видео.html I used to have Lionel model trains, including an engine that smoke came out of if you put a pill in it. Train rides are great also, like the one we took on the White Pass and Yukon Railway (Alaska & British Columbia) where the 1849 Gold Rush line is. Maybe you'll like this train song by Elton John: ruclips.net/video/lna_jb-4YfQ/видео.html or this one by the Duke Ellington Orchestra: ruclips.net/video/AXOo5QdLLfo/видео.html
Very helpful for a complete beginner like me. My question is, when you come to the last stage of applying heat to the tinned wire and the soldered track...is there any solder on the iron, or just a hot iron? Thanks for any assistance.
Hi, thanks for the message. In short, no. A small trace of the same solder on the iron is usually enough to flood the solder into the joint. In relation to Fluxes, I use here a 6% phosphoric acid flux but many don’t like this as it can eat into wires over time. The favourite expression is that it creeps up the wire by capillary action and sits there nibbling away. There are, of course, other fluxes available which are non corrosive (check data sheets when ordering). Flux dispensers are a handy tool, whether pen-like or in small bottles. My fluxes come from Wizard Models in NE Lincolnshire. Having said all this I haven’t had any issues at all.
Wow nice video you put together. Thanks for sharing
Sorry 16/.02 cable NOT 15/.02 !!
Very good I would like to learn to play the keyboard my son can play quite well . thanks for sharing.👍
