Sunday Evening Pictures

[Madman]

Now that's what I would call a Transbattery car

 

[MR SPOCK]

Good Idea not thought about that , I have been connecting the track up tonight, and then had an hour just watching the trains roll by, the mallet finds all the wrinkles out ,

Mallet looks good Pete could you make the battery look like a transformer load by adding electric conductors

​

 

[MR SPOCK]

Chuckling the battery was what ran the whole layout when I started, not been charged for months, and still ran the mallet for hours on sunday and still going tonight, I had to use the well waggon to get through the tunnel,haha

I managed to salvage some pics from sunday before the fogg came in,​

​

using the Mallet as a test for the curves and snaggs,​

​

​

the battery jury rig aint pretty but it works fine, ​

​

​

as you can see the double track loop is already planned when the money is syphoned off​

​

wow u ran this mallet on 12 volt battery? wow never thought abt it so hw did u connect the wire from the battery to the motor? hw?
so does u think it will work on my Fa1?

 

[MR SPOCK]

thanks to the usual cornish weather today was not as planned however a still a very enjoyable day,​

​

I had prepped the railway for DCC use but as it was wet not a good idea, ​

​

still a few trains running four at one point but very complicated,had one or two pile ups,​

​

​

still running till ten minutes ago,

DCC ...Pete ......what is this dark side thing?????

Like the pictures as the elements turn against you....perserverance eh?

 

[MR SPOCK]

Pete, What Dcc System do you use?

I dont use any DCC now, Graham Mills was going to try his Dynamis system out , I used to use Dynamis when I first started but gone radio now, but the track is wired dcc ready, but because of the rain, we just ran a few radio control and a few uncontrolled unmodified loco's 'free running'​

Steve, these are the same batteries that I use, you will need a smalll charger as well these are about £5, you need to check the wheels are not connected to the motor leads as it will cause a short if there is any track power applied

will harm my fa1 usin this battery like yr with mallets?

[MR SPOCK]

Rained half of today, bleaching sun the rest, no middle ground,​

​

the new sw from Paul has ran brill, just the job, ​

​

​

I got some neww reefers to add interest as well, ​

​

​

I saw the ammetere rise during a rain squall and tracked it down to to a track short,there was smoke or steam coming from it,I also got some track levelled on the branch,​

​

​

also had a big smash up on the crossing

Our 'Summer' certainly seems to be one of a potent mix of both ends of the weather spectrum.

Glad to see that you managed to run a few trains though

 

[MR SPOCK]

I keep a few unmodified locos for days like this, they seem to be used more often than not lately,
