Well, it took me a while to complete this project. After giving it much thought, I decided to bite the bullet and replace the Paragon 4 with a...
I checked the voltage to the headlight circuit board, and it's only 2.75v, so the 3v LEDs I plan to use will pose no problem. Steve Troy
I'll have to re-check the actual circuit voltage with a meter, but I don't think it is putting the full 3.5V to the headlight LED. Evans Designs...
I thought about that, but (1) the bends would be really severe (several sharp 90 degree bends are required) and (2) the fiber optics would have to...
Yes, I will post some photos when I get to work on it. Depending on the size of the ditch light housings, I may have to go smaller than 402s....
Here's an update. The Paragon 4 provides 3.5V to each headlight LED. This is good news, since there's really no room to add a resistor. The...
Unfortunately, there is no room whatsoever. N scale switchers don't give you much space to work with. Steve Troy
Has anyone added ditch lights to the BLI Paragon 4 N scale NW-2? I would like to add both front and rear ditchers, but I'm not sure of the best...
Yes, using a Micro-Trains Z scale coupler is indeed possible (that's what I did), and looks great on that small switcher. M-T Z scale couplers...
That is exactly what I do, and it works very well. Use two sets of contacts as a normal DPDT and the third set as your indicator contacts. Steve...
A video is available at TrainBoss Defect Detector Features, Performance, Prices, Ordering | Boulder Creek Engineering. I would think this would...
Oh, and it's sensitive enough that the train length is shorter when backing over the sensors than it is when pulling over the sensors! Steve Troy
I just finished installing one of these on my N scale layout. It works quite well, and I like the ability to custom-tailor the messages it gives....
Thanks, that is most helpful.
Does anyone have current information about when the daily trains go through the Lillooet area? I will be there in a few weeks and was wondering...
Tyler, when do the daily trains go through the Lillooet area? I will be there in a few months and was wondering if I would be able to catch...
