Peterr Your reasoning is sound (no pun intended) and true. This applies not only in terms of volume but also to the frequency of the sounds received at 200...
Hey Graham, Tom, Bruce, Exactly. Good points all, Graham! And as I recall (haven't seen one for some time:), there are two reeds inside the glass that are...
Hey Gary, Of course you are right, all frequencies eventually dissipate in air... eventually. And they all 'roll off' with distance. The only point was that,...
I haven't been following this thread, but re bouncing reed switches, at our club meeting last night we received what seems to be an excellent tip. The advice...
Hey peterr, How cool is that! Magnetic transmission, so clever... it has to work. Thanks Peter! jim ... advice was to mount the reed switch ... support the...
One thing that Jim and I had discussed was having the sounds of the train traveling around the layout go thru the rails. Does anyone have any suggestions for a...
Dear Crew, That would also make the reedswitch "footprint" far smaller, making for easier installation both pre and post tracklaying, (oops, installed the reed...
Dear Tom, "Thru the rails" sound, and "simple" are usually not 2 phrases you find in the same sentence, at least not by "non-electronic geek" modellers... ;-) ...
Prof, It is N-Scale. I actually spoke to Jim and given the scale, he felt this is not a very viable idea. And Bruce also felt the same. He felt it would...
Although I haven't unboxed it, I do own one of these trains and they seem too small too me to install any sort of speaker that would provide satisfactory ...
Hi James, Hope all is well! I probably could do this. I think it may have been my original thought process when I had no idea what a Dream Player, Dream ...
Hey Professor, Tom, James, and group, Ok, I think Tom's earlier post was not clear, he has abandoned the 'through- the-rails' approach, at my suggestion. When...
James, You are right, it will be difficult, if possible at all, to go 'on board' in N scale. But it is done, so I'm hoping the group can provide some ideas. We...
Hey Professor, Peterr, Tom Don't you just love it? I just hope it works, it sounds like it should... the logic of it makes perfect sense. This is a terrific...
Jim and James, Jim and James, One additional thing that may make this not applicable. The layout has a removable Plexiglass cover. It would effectively...
... My suggestion about using the DreamPlayer/Switcher for the locomotive chuffing sound was for Tom and his Disneyland layout. As I understand it, he's going...
Hey James, If you had asked me, from memory I would have said that the Porters had saddle tanks:). I'm probably thinking about the Porters at the Calico Mine...
Dear Jim, Tom, OK, now I get it. (I'za slow, but I'za get there... ;-) ). Firstly, without wanting to start a rush, go directly to eBay, and do your best to...
Hey guys I did make it clear it was not my idea. The credit goes to another member of my local model railway club. He's not a member of this list so I won't...
All, The layout that Bruce is working with me on 72 by 30 inches. His work with the train blocking will include: 1) the sounds of the train arriving, waiting...
Hey Peterr, In media (i.e., film, music, etc.), 'credit' usually includes a name:). Please let your fellow club member know that I think his idea was clever...
Hey Don, I'm changing the subject, and starting a new thread... In part because I don't think there is a shoehorn big enough (or is that small enough:) to...
Dear Tom, Central trigger panel for a DreamPlayer? Easy! Grab 4 X press-button switches, and a 5 or 6 wire loom, wire the switches into the DP "trigger...
Hey Tom, You don't want much do you:)? Yes, because you won't have many players, and because each one has only one line output, you can put a volume control...
Jim OK. Don't know if you don't ask. Go GIANTS!!!!!! ... a ... or ... do. ... for ... at ... everything, ... work ... the ... layout ... minutes. ... ...
The credit for the reed switch modification all belongs to my fellow club member, Jim Luck. He has a fund of good ideas and a pathologically tidy workbench, or...
Hey Peterr, Jim sounds like a go getter from the get go:). I'm posting an illustration (REED.JPG) in the photos section, if you would please, forward (or print...
