Thanks Professor, Appreciate your help in this, I think I have the bugs worked out. I ran it by Bob and he found a second error, and then I found a third one ...
Jim, What was the 3rd one? What did I miss? Bob ~~~~~~~~~~ Thanks Professor, Appreciate your help in this, I think I have the bugs worked out. I ran it by Bob...
Hey Bob, It wasn't exactly wrong, that's why you 'missed' it. The positive feed to the amp didn't 'loop' over the jump from the negative to the control output...
ALL I have been following this with great interest. I am guessing that this is for a DC layout and not DCC. I am guessing that based on the 12 Vdc connected to...
Hey there Frank, You likely missed out on the first parts of this thread, and it must seem a bit strange out of context. I can imagine:). This is a design for...
Jim Thanks You are correct that I missed the early part of this project. Thanks for explaining to me what you are doing. Good Luck Frank ... From: "Jim Wells"...

Hey Howard, Thank you for posting those links. I would imagine some of the membership of MERG might be interested in this group as well. $33 and change is a...
... I am not sure where you get $33 from. Its £15 for people outside the EU. I guess the extra $6 is bank charges? ... Merg is hardly a 'professional' group....
Hey Howard, Thank you for that reply, it answers all my questions perfectly. I just went to an on line converter to convert pounds to dollars, yesterday it ...
Dear Lads, I find this link invaluable, (Pun not intended), when needing quick currency conversion info. http://www.xe.com/ucc/ simply give the know monetary...
Dear Jim, Hope this finds your new Bitter Creek audio circuit assembled, fully functioning, and all ready for a "Full Power Comissioning" this weekend... Love...
Hey Professor, ITS ALIVE!!! I just got it installed today and the first train triggered a dream player. I am asking my buddy Jack to take some pictures with...
Dear Jim, Yep, connecting a polarity sensitive trigger system to a "common rail" DC source, the Wrong Way Round ;-) will do it every time... (Truth be told,...
Hey Professor, I rode through the first time behind No.9, The Mary... I had shorted the rails and made it work while I was inside the tunnel, and then heard it...

Question. Upon researching parts I find some listing for 3.5mm stereo plugs, cables, etc. Are these the same "Mini Stereo Phono Plugs"? Jon Miller AT&SF For...
Hi Jon, Yes, in today's terminology the 1/8" stereo jack is the same as a 3.5mm stereo jack. The parts you found should work on computer speakers, Dream ...
Dear Modellers, was trawling thru a model ship website, trying to find some stuff for a logging model, when I found these diesel and foghorn sound modules,...
Hey Professor, That's really not fair, you are comparing apples and oranges. Your ear likely picked up on it, but for those who may not recognize it, those ...
Dear Prof, The only description I can come up with is ... that's very sad. My five dollar oscillator circuit sounds so much better than the fog horn module, ...
Interesting that a couple of days ago Digi-Key had over 50 of the relays in stock. Today when I ordered they don't expect a shipment in until Aug. Are all you...
Hey Jon, I'll take the blame for buying every last one of a certain 2 1/8" speaker that All Electronics 'had' (several cases of em:). I'm just guessing here,...
