Re: Baseboard staging
开云体育Hopefully these two photos add a bit of context to my description.? To make transport easier for the aluminium sections they are left plain and I rely on crude carpentry/gaffa tape to locate them on the trestles.? You could probably come up with something more elegant for a semi-permanent installation. ? My plastic trestles were a bit low so I didn’t use the notches to locate the aluminium and used a simple wooden attachment to gain a bit of height. ? ? Cheers, Robin ?

They are not adjustable as I have never used that function but they are lighter and don’t make as much noise in car during transport! ? At the last show someone remarked “aluminium? What a good idea and it’s probably cheaper than timber now”.? I think you could get quite large spans and the limiting aspect may well prove to be access.? It could be difficult getting more than about a 3m length into your house but you wouldn’t need as many upright supports.? Height adjustable trestles might work but you might prefer some purpose built wooden supports.? However, with fewer supports it might be easier to increase the height of each one. ? It is a shame I am just a bit too far away as you would be welcome to try my metal trestles and aluminium bar to experiment with height. ? Cheers, Robin ? |

I have been exploring options which range from close to the original configuration or potentially splitting the big spiral/quarry section from the unfinished
exchange sidings section. I would like to have the boards a bit higher than in the last loft. |

Help to wire a reed switch magnet cam on a Zimo MS450
#photo-notice
Hi all.? It’s a long time since I fitted a magnet cam, usually relying in the virtual cam function. I now have a new MS450 decoder and the instructions seem to contradict. The wiring diagram states top right pad, ‘switch input (IN1, cam sensor)’. ?IN3 is next one down. Then later in the manual it states ‘ 3 is usually reserved for a cam sensor input’.? So, anyone know which to use?? Cheers |

Narrow Gauge South - Saturday 23rd April
Less than 2 weeks to go and there is now a downloadable pdf show guide:
Some great layouts including Twa Dale Estates and my own Tony's Forest in 014. Over 50 stands spread across the main hall and a few classrooms. You will find me in one of the classrooms along with the 7mm NGA sales. We asked to be together as we were both unsure how much help we might be able to get and we can keep an eye on each other's stand if necessary. Cheers, Robin |
