cteno4 Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 @beakaboy nice, Thomas looks happy! How growly is the plasser? Also are the internal leds still little suns at runnig voltage and bleed through the sides? Just wondering if they have improved on the mechanism since its first release. It’s a nice model! cheers, jeff Link to comment

It’s a nice model! cheers, jeff lubing the mech has certainly improved it and running very smooth , but you know when its running due to a whine! its own built in sound card. The lights are still bright, but they were on the real machines when working. The blue tone dosen't look right though. I will probably repaint the model in yellow to match the units that operate here. my friend will be able to make some decals as well. His brother used to service the computer systems on board and also troubleshoot problems Link to comment

Mine did the same thing of a bad growl to a whine with some lubing. They are noisy buggers in person, although I must admit with all that goes on in a ballast trains of plasser a I’ve seen it was quieter than I would have expected. My plan is to put current limiting chip and dim the internal lights (and some light shielding) and maybe put a few as bright external lights, but the external lights are only on when at work, not when being driven around I think. Of course a sound decoder in one of these would be cool! Maybe some actuators to make the vibrating ballast fingers go up and down! I’m a sucker for all MOW. jeff 1 Link to comment
