Hi, This is the layout I have designed. It will be build on two low tables 85cm x 60cm x 25cm (33.5" x 23.5" x 10") The two tables fit on top of each other, so they will not use to much room when stacked (I live in a small small flat in Amsterdam). In the bottom you see 4 tracks for a...

Ah, I'll look it up, but I live in Amsterdam, so american equipment is difficult to get. But I saw a electronics blue print for pulse injector http://dan.pfeiffer.net/train/throttle.htm

Ok, I'll get some lubrication next week or something. Tomorrow is a wedding from a friend of mine, so I should get to that :-).

Hi again, I have a pretty cheap second hand transformer too, So I guess it doesn't do these pulses. So how does that work, does it do puls modulation on low voltages (like a DCC decoder does all the time)? Interesting. If I could get a power suply which does this I could test how it will hold...

Hi, I am planning a pretty complex diarama, with 4 trains running. And altough it may be fun to fully automate using DC, I thought of using DCC. Oh and it stalls at the same current (ampere), which means the power is getting inside the loc and into the motor (that is why I feel the motor...

Hello, I just got my first second hand engine from the train store. Its a fleischman 7230, which I liked the model of and will be used to pull steel cars. It doesn't have a flywheel, but it does have traction on all 4 axels. I also got some second hand sectional track, which I made into a...

Hello everyone, Thanks for the advice. The Z-gauge for the mine is inspired, I was just thinking about a lift shaft in the ground. And indeed, the bottom two tracks are impossible to get to, so they are layed last, when I start with a new module (i.e. future expansion) I am thinking of...

Hi there, I'm a newby, I have done some finescale modelling the last years and wanted to do real diaramas. When I was very young I had a fleischmann starters kit, which always failed, I think my mother took it back to the store three times. I hope I have better luck this time, altough I don't...
