2021-09-21 Coal siding LED's are detaching and starting to hang down
And today one string shorted out. I removed the block connectors and fitted male and female spades. I san hot glue these to the frame and take a little pressure off the LED strips. I cant hot glue the strips on as the leds don't like the heat.
The problem is that I am not able to twist my old body into spots I could reach only a few years back. Wish I had done a better job then :(
For me, useless. Seem to be built for a show case! Fortunately with the help of a washer, these Auscision bogies work really well. I could not keep the axles in place, but now a small push and the coach goes half round the layout! Well almost. Got to a hill and returned back to where I pushed it from.
Height right up next to a Powerline new series car. Happy with that.
This old body needs a lot of help getting underneath the boards. Even a year ago I could have leaned under. But not today.
The lamp? the lamp? Turn it on champ!!
Both strips out. Power to block. So I got rid of block and replaced it with spade connectors.
Dimmer switches.
Next job will be to sort this all out. Main problem is the 4.03 AMPS. Even with all locos off track, it draws a lot of power. I think it might be the TAM Valley singlet switches, but I need to sort that out.
The blue meter is the fernleigh circuit with 16 Singlet switches and drawing 1.38 amps.
The Red Ramp Meter supplies total power 8 amps. Circuit breakers are reliable now too.
