What happened to the last 7 months??<p> <u>And its Australia Day 2024</u></p><p>Time flashes by when you are having fun! (not)<u><b></b></u></p><p><u><b><br /></b></u></p><p>So our little team, has continued to plod on, although we really have little we can show you guys. The wiring project, has taken most of our time.</p><p>My stupid setup in the early days has caused much heart ache, however the light is now visible at the end of our tunnel. </p><p>I am now happy we used servo motor point motors, and paying $3.00 each instead of $50+ for the much better Tortoise motors is a real sweetener for one who has the need for near 150 points to change.</p><p>I was certainly not so convinced after suffering multiple failures with Tam Valley control switches (maybe a result of my crap wiring?) and changing to ANE (Peco) switches was not much better. However along came David and his <a href="https://simplyrail.com.au/">Simple Switches</a> (Click here to see them).</p><p>All I can say is Where were you 10 years ago? These things are brilliant!</p><p>So we replaced the faulty Tam Valley bits and all the ANE bits with Simple Switches and most of our problems went away.</p><p>Now every indication I got in the early days was Tower Pro SG90 were the best of the cheap servos and ideal for model railway use. I found this to be true and the first 50 installs operated flawlessly (they did not rattle and changed tracks easily when the Tams decided to work). However the next 25 were not so good. I believe they were cheapened, and I guess almost every one has failed. I was told to search for Tower pro SG90 with metal gears. I found them and bough another 25 and they are working very nicely. Another order for 25 will probably allow me to power my Heritage 2 POS signals.</p><p>So there you go! Six months of electrical, and time to run a few trains?</p><p> I can add a few pictures here to show other progress, if I can find them?<br /></p><p><b><u> Progress Pictures</u></b></p><p>Here we have some bits Al sourced from his son Neil, cut on a CNC machine.</p><p>The first are <b>replacement coupling pins</b> between a LIMA 38 and its tender</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSFsBOKBKUnxrUyUQDnQhi3G_Tkt5VYqw_ZnRATjZQpvJOm6UB1Jd4CskH2MpWQYJY5YbYKouvIE1lPl-oNPzPVzt7vRJRDrxEcLCAdNYR2RbvOrKjmi3QZkL2uzwzManrt1Z-aUBMFY1IViuAc0gzTeQVcJgznZclxQghDyKMe4wzT6PnLhILSihJ5ar6/s1365/27-01-2004.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1365" data-original-width="1024" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSFsBOKBKUnxrUyUQDnQhi3G_Tkt5VYqw_ZnRATjZQpvJOm6UB1Jd4CskH2MpWQYJY5YbYKouvIE1lPl-oNPzPVzt7vRJRDrxEcLCAdNYR2RbvOrKjmi3QZkL2uzwzManrt1Z-aUBMFY1IViuAc0gzTeQVcJgznZclxQghDyKMe4wzT6PnLhILSihJ5ar6/w480-h640/27-01-2004.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgy48MrQf-Et8oMYeyNt7OQTy9JD7jknKF04s_PotWc9PXAPMOm0MaalukWuVXTBQCyklOM2vTGUBAeoDg6jx-4kCty9bn-h_ecQckJsXf-drT7lttxaywsOac45wV7qSHcl9779MYGO1kZAs4jnX1ZfXdW1P3bMuqdGOPK4e9vTLyckoST6wh5sbn80Q9t/s1365/1000%2027-01-2004.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1365" data-original-width="1024" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgy48MrQf-Et8oMYeyNt7OQTy9JD7jknKF04s_PotWc9PXAPMOm0MaalukWuVXTBQCyklOM2vTGUBAeoDg6jx-4kCty9bn-h_ecQckJsXf-drT7lttxaywsOac45wV7qSHcl9779MYGO1kZAs4jnX1ZfXdW1P3bMuqdGOPK4e9vTLyckoST6wh5sbn80Q9t/w480-h640/1000%2027-01-2004.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><br /><p>You can contact me, and I will let Al know your phone number if you could use one of these?<br /></p><p><br /></p><p>The next are replacement <b>drive shafts for a Trainorama S Class (GM and 42 Class)</b></p><p> We asked Neil to make some on his CNC machine.

pulling the bogies apart to change split gears was near impossible.
However completely pulling the chassis apart, still did not fix the
problem. So I used the dremel to cut out slots to drop the motor back
into place with the shaft already pushed in both ends of the motor.</p><p><br /><br /></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiN3LpbaZbP6JXQokIjPka-lW0utjAfeCpGZUgisAjtsvASqnhQuicRwDw9U-tGlkf3272yQ-CAS6rWYvXTXB987dLISoPTkf-_fBZuUxyxZS5cge0tMDxFPX61lj_W3x6w0K3jc63gSun-vrDgbxpKcvo5mMrJ7gYd-pesBPcAJ4hHqBSodJ5uL4i7DpoI/s1024/1010%2027-01-2004.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="768" data-original-width="1024" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiN3LpbaZbP6JXQokIjPka-lW0utjAfeCpGZUgisAjtsvASqnhQuicRwDw9U-tGlkf3272yQ-CAS6rWYvXTXB987dLISoPTkf-_fBZuUxyxZS5cge0tMDxFPX61lj_W3x6w0K3jc63gSun-vrDgbxpKcvo5mMrJ7gYd-pesBPcAJ4hHqBSodJ5uL4i7DpoI/w640-h480/1010%2027-01-2004.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><p></p><p></p><p>They are a proper bastard to fit.

Electrically the railway actually seems to be working with every track now working well on DCC.</p><p>Honeysuckle was repaired by Tony K (who donated it to the cause.) Wired it up,got the points working and temporary controls installed. Tony is building a new lever frame for this station, as we had to re-configure it as a through junction rather than a terminus, in its original form. Tony has already built all the operating semaphore signals, and they are stored away until the scenery and ballast are fixed up and the new lever frame arrives.</p><p>Last Thursday Al and I had our regular workday and we moved on to some dodgy track work on the branch line. We had already spent a lot of time trying to resurrect the old hand laid track. And so decided to replace the three way points with a peco code 75 asymmetric three way point that almost matched the original. Almost is the operative word. But it certainly improved operations at Trentham. </p><p>Some pictures.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmCmB4MO2sqKl50L8bpk6TL86-td_mzm77XSIEAMLUiLbR5ZzHIO3oS6LQTNJtaa9QpRdZlkq7Ox4oRKLnAx4GRFxEIwENARQY4xTI2RcAsR7IQ-kxVCsvuO_e0kHKRPOOOdVnDK411w6CI9M2SBKtxyoSW5yqAkWLkgD2ndJLear_c1X0laM4h-Zxmw/s4608/image006%202023_06_10.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4608" data-original-width="3456" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmCmB4MO2sqKl50L8bpk6TL86-td_mzm77XSIEAMLUiLbR5ZzHIO3oS6LQTNJtaa9QpRdZlkq7Ox4oRKLnAx4GRFxEIwENARQY4xTI2RcAsR7IQ-kxVCsvuO_e0kHKRPOOOdVnDK411w6CI9M2SBKtxyoSW5yqAkWLkgD2ndJLear_c1X0laM4h-Zxmw/w480-h640/image006%202023_06_10.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><p></p><p>The Peco point did not actually fully match the footprint of the original hand made point.<br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhh-S8TBI3xHgkcT1rJd6W4sL5QLSU3vAo8-jK05Z1ASdx4YMwMZSKQrQESVQsxZF7NSI6LEmnB32z37Vtq7pyIhnx6L6ksCtCTiOuHfNkKUry8mKOzxbssjR6B4HEzuRm0z9UzvrjNmVlju9ISIcmMSX62tWJqsO6uozCd7VmhuM1I8f4WFcyHY-AH-w/s4608/image007%202023_06_10.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3456" data-original-width="4608" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhh-S8TBI3xHgkcT1rJd6W4sL5QLSU3vAo8-jK05Z1ASdx4YMwMZSKQrQESVQsxZF7NSI6LEmnB32z37Vtq7pyIhnx6L6ksCtCTiOuHfNkKUry8mKOzxbssjR6B4HEzuRm0z9UzvrjNmVlju9ISIcmMSX62tWJqsO6uozCd7VmhuM1I8f4WFcyHY-AH-w/w640-h480/image007%202023_06_10.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><p></p><p>However Al worked his magic! and it fixed down (despite the caneite base) and will tidy nicely, I think.<br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhszCx0-o4k4kZqfEApx-I263kE5Iaw0ZzXzau2stzWVAR8wcNt7FIvU0O6XnDwDU9vK4JeQjve9BJMLJpEUx7h1QM-7Tmo_yoV6pkFLy_vGFxq91IRDJq6w9O0UvHrXZ30ZzsqEyPEUfRYwpuIJLk-Y-WVNtS4CvRJkI5qoUjS7jufHkXdp4n5TbpCfA/s4608/image008%202023_06_10.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3456" data-original-width="4608" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhszCx0-o4k4kZqfEApx-I263kE5Iaw0ZzXzau2stzWVAR8wcNt7FIvU0O6XnDwDU9vK4JeQjve9BJMLJpEUx7h1QM-7Tmo_yoV6pkFLy_vGFxq91IRDJq6w9O0UvHrXZ30ZzsqEyPEUfRYwpuIJLk-Y-WVNtS4CvRJkI5qoUjS7jufHkXdp4n5TbpCfA/w640-h480/image008%202023_06_10.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><p>All went well .I laid on my trolly under the points and fixed the point motors in place and wired the three way point in.

With over 500+ spades being purchased, and all failures caught at installation. Either failed to grab wire, or difficult to push into main buss thus breaking spade off.</p><p>Trouble shooting? If you have a short in an isolated section, just remove connector and follow through till fault goes away. Fix and move along. Imagine using solder instead of spades. Ok Ok I know some of you "experts" out there don't make mistakes and never ever have to redo connections. Sadly that's not me, it would seem.</p><p>Trouble shooting is done using Poses track detectors, and multi meters. Yesterday a friend (Graeme who we will show building backdrops later) Built a battery operated buzzer to detect shorts. This caused us a lot of problems.</p><p>As an example . If I test between rails with the meter set to ohms and buzzer, I get no responses in some places. When we ran the buzzer over same connection, we get a short indication. So far I have found that you must remove all trains and illuminated carriages from track. And as my Tam Valley devices also run off the DCC buss, I am wondering if we are still on the same fools errand. Getting under the layout to disconnect every TAM device would be a real problem, 6 months into the chase to find out why the Albury section of the layout is no longer working. The c/b is tripped allowing the rest of the layout to run perfectly.... </p><p>Tonight I will make a video of the fault and we can try to work this out together. I am sure it will be solved by one of you :D</p><p>The last backdrops (hiding the brick walls are in. Thank you Graeme, who designed and installed them.</p><p><b> </b></p><p><b>BACKDROPS</b></p><p>Pictures tell the story again. </p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhoU--NTE-sqUUChYaNbopay_pTka7mLcHbzKwmmOj3C_my0TAyXPvocLsQb5vFKS800_ZblDxyLFvmF1Qhkrox8hbU2aNiN3EOaSxz9GnBHEEgmJERURVDSytNyaWweOOkIgNbrPn17F2Kvd9hLrUmKRhXUVjmJkfIxea07N2Xy-vRBpZvE_wra0GSyw/s800/image004-2022_07_10.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em;
