project in progress, info comeing soon

The block control panel is at Mahawatu so that the nearby junction turnouts can be manually set and the corresponding cabs connected, and blocks disabled to hold trains.

This control panel contains all the throttles and assigns them to two power supplies and to two output cab busses which are used by the Mahawatu panel to do block cab assignment.

To be built.
Double-track bridge 1.8 metres long, .3 metres wide.
Not hinged, just liftout
Aluminium angle frame, pop riveted.

Jack has various broken remote control cars. i also bought a great little working one from Dick Smith (similar to Tandy) for twelve bucks!

I have built an online system on this website to manage my inventory of locos, rolling stock, track, electronics, structures, vehicles, books, DVDs...

I can source from a recycler for about $15 large power supplies in a heavy case with front handle, fan, mains socket, switch, fuse, terminal strip etc etc

have done some experimenting. The roundhouse will have outside lights made this way. I see someone is selling these pre-soldered to leads.

Digitrax user interfaces suck, big time. i want a throttle I can hand to a visitor and they can use it with minimum instruction.

Finished. Was used on peter's N scale layout for some time. has memory walkaround. next step; pulse and ultrarealistic behaviour; pump air, low on fuel etc...
