Finally - a weekend working on the railway. The plan this time was train operations: no more scenery work. My friend Tony Ellary visited and over 3 days we've made a lot of progress setting up more Traincontroller operations.
- We worked out how to interlock a DTM30 with Traincontroller: there's a note in the "tips and tricks" section.
- We reconfigured some of the short tracks in the fiddle yard. Three of the 4 roads that can take two short trains will now take trains up to 64cm long: sufficient for the "voyager" trains.
- I finished the remaining coupler conversions from Microtrains to Dapol magnetic in NEM pockets.
- We've set up a load more schedules for Clanfield and the new Easteigh depot
- Various "fixes" to logical errors in the way I'd configured Traincontroller
- Re-did all the loco speed profiling (version 8 uses a different approach)
- Set up some three sets (a dreadful name!)
- Caught up with the loco photograps for Train Animator
- Fixed the Eurostar, which wasn't properly driving both bogies: the driveshaft at one end of the motor was only just contacting the hexagonal holes in the motor flywheels. The solution was to move the driveshaft back a bit at the bogie end.
I think that will be it for a while!
