... a system on the market. It's interesting but pricey. http://www.copnor.enta.net/FS/TheBouncer.htm I quite like the idea because I couldn't really get my head around the idea of using a Tortoise or Fulgurex motor for a 4mm ground signal. I've experimented with memory wire and like it but it takes up rather a lot of space. Cause for some more experimentation! posted: 25 Nov 2009 06:10 from: Stephen Freeman As far as I can see from his website, The Bouncer gives you just one bounce. Well if you just want it for turnouts, there is the MERG design, I believe the design is freely available along with the software and firmware. but you also have to have all the kit to flash program the chip. The software to do this is free from Microchip but you have to buy the Programmer (Pickit2 possibly- there are others). To buy the kit for Servo4 though, you need to be a member of MERG but if you have no other need for flashing eeproms then membership is ...
... to go with servos in future so I'll be following your progress with interest. Other options like Tortoises have their own drawbacks. I've used servos successfully on a couple of signals, but these don't quite have the same need to get the end points right. Nigel Hello Nigel I'll keep you posted on my progress. My initial experiences with the Megapoints control has been positive and certainly setting the end points has not been difficult with every control board being completely self contained with its own controls built in. The signal control even has bounce built in which varies every time by a small amount so no two returns to danger are the same. Very nice. What I'dont know yet is how it performs in regular use and that concerns me a bit. But, nothing ventured....Kind regards Andrew posted: 8 Sep 2018 06:47 from: Andrew Duncan Nigel Brown I've used servos successfully on a couple of signals, but these don't quite have the same need to get the end points right.

... that doesn't really meet the gold standard in terms of definition (although it's probably good enough for many of us.) The HP nylon might have sufficient definition and be strong/flexible, but then painting might be a problem. Also, it ain't cheap I don't think we should be too concerned about making a "universal chair" that will grip any rail. That makes sense if hard tooling is involved, but it's no big deal to create different jaw configurations for particular rail profiles. There are a lot of ideas bouncing around in my head, but it's probably best to wait until we have tested additional samples. Cheers, Andy posted: 9 May 2018 09:50 from: Stephen Freeman Hi, Machines are getting better all the time and costs are increasingly competitive. Having said that, PLA definition is better that ABS and doesn't smell as bad but is more brittle. I can't see that changing. As to Shapeways, it says its in production. C&L orders have just landed. I just have to make my mind ...
... even more (potentially wasted) effort just to get the dammed thing through! Cheers Richard posted: 5 Mar 2008 17:02 from: Brian Lewis This is becoming an increasing problem- particularly with Webfusion, NTLworld and AOL. When anyone uses C+ L's on-line ordering service, they receive an immediate acknowledgement. As soon as the consignment has been shipped, they receive another email, advising of this and stating by what method. Send it to anyone who uses facilities provided by the three mentioned ISPs and they bounce back to us. Apparently they just block in total, messages from any ISP they suspect is harbouring spammers. I cannot see how this is legal as I thought European Human Rights legislation provided for free and unhindered passage of mail, news, information. etc. As far as I can tell, none of these companies advise their clients that they are censoring their mail in this way.

... filtering programs are now a bigger menace than the spam. The cure is worse than the disease! Martin. Hi Martin et al I must confess that the penny did not drop when things appeared to go quiet on the Templot Club front- I was not aware of the problem with Demon. Demon's filtering has been very good at dealing with "genuine" spam and so until now I have been very pleased with it. I have not encountered any problems recently with direct emails from Yahoo groups. Very occasionally something triggers the bouncing mechanism but I do not see this as a major problem. I will contact Demon and express my concern that legitimate messages are being intercepted by their filtering service but unfortunately I do not think Demon's current customer service is what it used to be. On the very few occasions since the days of the tenner a month dialup when I have needed to contact Demon the service has been very good- until one Sunday earlier this year when a problem was reported and "not" dealt with by the call centre. I suppose ...
... correct me if I am materially wrong) Nice to see you are taking a keen interest in these components, been using some at the club tonight posted: 12 Nov 2015 23:22 from: Hayfield Jubilee I am sure you will be fine, do put a bit of shim under the rail on the copperclad timbers, as the chairs need the rail lifted up so they can fit into the rail web. without the shim the chairs will go up the rail too far and will not fit and possibly the wheels may bounce along the chair tops posted: 12 Nov 2015 23:31 from: DerekStuart Hayfield wrote: Nice to see you are taking a keen interest in these components, been using some at the club tonight Personally I would say that other than Templot, C&L /Exactoscale has done the most to revolutionise this hobby, especially under the stewardship of Peter.

... > movable K-crossings menu item. *If they are Tortoise pattern point motors and fitted the opposite way round from one another to make room, you can drive them both in parallel from a single panel switch. regards, Martin. posted: 27 Oct 2017 13:50 from: RPEDDER Thanks Martin for the feedback, I have now uploaded the .box file. I think I understand what you are saying regarding the K crossings, can definitely see how both solutions would result in improved running (much less of a bounce through the gap). However I am not so clear on how it will resolve the more fundamental issue, in that the derailment is being caused at the switch area. Would tightening the gauge to SF standards through the Vee area potentially provide similar improvement here (in that there will be much less slop between wheels and rail, hence less chance of a wheel riding up and over the switch rail?)

... have a larger gap between the crossing rails contact points, therefore more wheel drop into that gap, giving the model (locos& rolling stock) a bouncy look as they travel through the diamond and the wheels drop into the gap, also, though it may not necessarily be too severe, there is more impact when the wheels make re-contact with the crossing rail as it comes out of the gap, consequently a little more ware and tare. I don't think there will be any problem with derailment, unless the bounce and impact is very severe. I can only say, that with K angle 0f 1 in 9.11, I personally would opt for a switched crossing, but if you have other issues, then I'm afraid the choice has to be yours, you know your system best. Sorry cannot be more help than that, All the best, Brian Nicholls. 18 Nov 2011 14:57 from: Martin Wynne Gordon S wrote: Are plain crossings larger than 1 in 8 going to be an issue in 00-SF? ...

... pump" vertically. When this is very bad it can produce a derailment. It is terrifying to ride over in a train at speed. In a Running Line track that pumps has a severe speed restriction imposed on it. (There are some nice Youtube examples of Amtrak trains not just pumping but squirting great gouts of water leaving- I think- Chicago). An alternative to pillowing and loose sleepers is that the whole lot sets like concrete. this is more dangerous than loose track- anything hitting it at speed can bounce off. I have know "concrete" ballast to have to be jack-hammered out a chunk at a time. (It broke the back-hoe digger they tried on it). According to my training the sleeper-wide flat plate under the toe of the point blades is called a sole plate. Note that both the sole plate and the gauge tie bar are not continuous between the rails. Both have an insulated joint in them. this is so that they don't mess up any track circuit in the ...
... on adjacent tracks to ensure no clashes) or curves too tight: I had aimed for ruling radius of 36" but some of the turnouts have short lengths down to I THINK 30" which is acceptable over very short distances...or anything else screaming out at an experienced modeller? I am very open to suggestions. I would rather display my ignorance here and receive some guidance rather than stick my head in the sand and then end up with issues leading to disappointment. Here in semi rural Queensland I have no one to bounce ideas off.

I guess you created that by joining individual templates? I'm sure others will explain how to remove the geometric look and put the station throat on a flowing S-curve transition. You asked about how to check clearances with the dummy vehicle tool. I have made you a bit of scruffy video showing the basics. See ...

I trimmed them back looking at photos of the prototype- one of them was a weighted points to protect against wrong line run away on a falling gradient- I presume the lever would have "bounced" every time an axle went through it in the normal direction? cheers Richard 1763_231727_350000000.jpg posted: 25 Jul 2018 21:41 from: ScottW Thanks, Richard for sharing your photograph.

I think the problem is when taking bits of code and trying to effectively reverse-engineer, it doesn't work because it references data elsewhere on the tab/unit/page or even on others. I've had a successful compile green mark and then it's hit unexpected exception errors. BTW your solution for opening the source editor worked- thanks. I will persevere. I really do appreciate the help and encouragement. This is one of the hardest tasks I've tried taking on. Derek posted: 6 Mar ...
... hadn't at that time realised that I wasn't getting some emails that I had no interest in anyway! The problem was intermittent and random, and it seemed no-one else here was seeing a similar problem. To cut a long story short, the problem was with my domain name registrar, TSOhost, who took my domain over from Daily. TSOhost seem to have a bit of a problem with their servers being blocked, in this case by Apple. I was able to find out what was happening as someone had a bounce 24hrs after sending which contained all the relevant header info, which they passed onto me. I've now moved my domain to GoDaddy and all seems well so far- in fact I had a couple of days worth of email backlog all come in at around 5:30 this morning! I hadn't realised that email forwarding was no longer a default part of these packages so I had to pay for a year's worth of that, but have since realised that I needn't have done that so my other domain forwards for free. ...
