More Distractions

After our failed attempts to install the feeder rails into the baseboard last week a new plan is hatched. the key element of the new plan is disconnect the board, turn it over and solder with gravity on our side.

I'm pleased to report that all worked and soon we had the possibility of power to the end of the dock for those smart little LED's that had been fitted to the buffer stops last week.

After reconnection of the board you guessed it, were devoid of power. Ten minutes of head scratching and probing and mysteriously the power starts to function.. (Hmm, I suspect getting ready to fail again at the next exhibition)



At this point it is noted that one of the nice new LED's has failed, fortunately we have the technology and it's replaced.

On the Distraction front in DCC corner, a shiny new 56XX was suffering with slow running issues. As the loco came to a halt it would judder forward at great speed then stop (not very useful) a quick bit of CV adjustment (to be posted) and perfect slow running was achieved.

Very nice.......
