Tonytramman Posted October 20, 2020 (edited) So it worked, however there is an issue. The output is rated 15 and we know the models are rated 12 and they were getting rather warm so back to good old DC! Track is currently being shuffled around so watch this space.. I'm rather taken with a couple of controllers I've seen but not sure how available they are, need to do some research, I think they are Tomix look like proper tram controllers ...

Tonytramman Posted October 21, 2020 I’m not sure of their numbers, I will find out.. Quote Share this post Link to post
Tonytramman Posted October 21, 2020 Think this is the final track plan, just need the kato 3 ways to arrive and away we go. need to do some Marking up on the boards and glue them together in preparation. even the Tomix track cleaner behaved today. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post

bill937ca Posted October 22, 2020 I had one of those. Very hard to stop at an exact location because of the difference in scale. Otherwise it was OK. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post

Tonytramman Posted October 23, 2020 Had to move the depot to a more central area but pleased with it and it’s all wired. Took a while as I managed to get a feed the wrong way round and short the whole lot out, and a few other minor issues but happy now, just got to rebuild the city .. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post

Tonytramman Posted November 10, 2020 First attempt at weathering kato track 2 Quote Share this post Link to post
Tonytramman Posted November 15, 2020 Shorty’s on depot awaiting full transfers, one sitting on kato chassis one on dummy that they come with. what great models, literally was expecting to spend ages with glue and files but nope, cut from spruce, slight file push fit together, wonderful 5 Quote Share this post Link to post
