Test Track – Revised Plan
Have revised the plan as my first review identifed a challenge with the points on the outer line and the ability to run trains across the lines . Revision below
Test Track Planning
With the move into the flat now completed the train automation testing can commence. I’ve taken advantage of some Black Friday deals to acquire the Digikeijs DR5000 which will be the main control part of the layout and once I have worked out all the connections to iTrain, the D44088 Sensors and the track andContinue reading “Test Track Planning”
Automation Software – Longlist
Based on the requirements in my last post I have started to look at automation software. I’ll start with the long list of products and an initial assessment before shortlisting these down for a more detailed look. Most seem to offer trial versions so once i have a test layout I can use this toContinue reading “Automation Software – Longlist”
Kilsby Drift – Automation
I’m hoping that I’ll be able to form a team to help exhibit the layout but with the house move to Dorset the friends that have agreed to help are going to be farther away and less available and whilst I’m sure that over time I’ll be able to get other people to help itContinue reading “Kilsby Drift – Automation”

The driver is fairly easy and with no previous interest and no local knowledge or experience with the WCML the decision to support RevolutionContinue reading “Kilsby Drift – The Concept”
WordPress – Thoughts so far
I made the decision to copy over the content from Moonfruit to the new site and somewhat simplify the setup. I haven’t always been great at keeping the site current so wanted something a little easier to maintain. The blogging, now news was appealing and I’m now using this to add my news section asContinue reading “WordPress – Thoughts so far”
New Web Site
For the those that are new welcome to the updated web site and for those who have been before thanks for coming back. The old website was based on the Moonfruit platform and we had been on this since the site was first launched back in 2014. I had originally looked at fixing the technologyContinue reading “New Web Site”
Wealden Cement Testing 2019
Taken advantage of the good weather to get Wealden Cement set up in the garden ready for testing at the clb in early August. I wanted to make sure all the legs and braces were fitting correctly, marked all the legs and fitted retaining nuts on all of the bolts. I used the session toContinue reading “Wealden Cement Testing 2019”
