Hampshire Hog Posted February 17, 2013 Author Share Posted February 17, 2013 I was only passing by with a wife and two children in tow, all of whom were very impressed with it, and I'm always how it ever fits into the front room. We combined the trip with a visit to some posh designer outlet in Shepton Mallet, where there was another show going on - the S/W narrow gauge show - I thought I might pop in to take a look, but that would have been pushing my luck a bit too far I think... Phil Hi Phil it was good to meet Mrs Beresford Junction as well as the little Beresford Junctions, and yes Pitbull it all went well (ok apart from the bloody VEP) sorry you coudn't make it, it was a great day and I for one had a great time meeting lots of people and having a good natter, my thanks to all at Warminster and a big thankyou to PaulRHB and Ian (Temeraire) for being the team, it only has to be said that we do it all again at Brockenhurst at the end of May, In the meantime I'm off to Exford to pinch Ians signal box and turn it into a Muckie D's. Best regards, Kevin. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hampshire Hog Posted February 20, 2013 Author Share Posted February 20, 2013 Hi Kevin, Glad the show went well, hope all goes well at Brockenhurst. Cheers Peter. Hi Peter thanks for that, I don't suppose you could be available for Brockenhurst, you know just hop on a plane? Its'a shame that the Star Treck "Transporter Device" has not been invented yet. How is your DCC going? whilst at Warminster I got hold of some new Zimo Sugar Cube speakers unfortunately they are 8ohm whereas the Loksound v4s Chips use 4ohm, Ian (Temeraire) says no problem just wire them in parallel and he was right they work brilliantly, I will post a video as soon as I can work out how to do it, here is a photo until then. Anyway beam me up Scotty, My best regards. Kevin. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes indeed Paul, very impressive a lot more volume and a clearer less stressed/distorted sound. Best regards. Kevin. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

P.C.M Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Hi Kevin, Wouldn't a Transporter device be nice, I would be over in a shot. I caught up with a few of the NFMRS boys when I was over last year though, even went to Fareham exhibition with Mossbank, Westcliffe and Hollybank and helped out for a day. It was good to see Mossbank up and running all those years after I helped build it. I am actually planning to come over for two weeks in May 2014, but early days yet so still no firm dates. Though I will try and make it to the New Forest exhibition or the Swanage diesel gala. I am going ok with the DCC, I have changed CVs on a few decoders but not had a play around with my sound locos yet. I have a legomanbiffo sound chip for a class 33 but the speaker is not giving good sound so I will get another one and have another go. Your track machine looks great I didn't know anyone did sounds for these, it's good to see those sugar speakers I am thinking of geting a couple of them for my 08 when I sound chip that. Cheers Peter. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Peter. Hiya Pete, It would be great to meet up again along with the rest of the gang the next time you are over, with a bit of luck the timing will coincide with an exhibition. I am not familier with legomanbiffo sound chips but you never know these zimo sugar cube speakers could be the answer for your 33, it will depend on the chips ohmage. The sound chip I use for the Tamper is a Howes Loksound Windhoff MPV, I suppose it is similar It has all the horns, sirens, etc it may not be to everyones taste but I think its great. I am not the an expert on Dcc or anything to do with Dcc but if I can help please let me know. If you would like to try these Zimo speakers PM me your adress to me and I will send you some. My best regards, Kevin. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think they would fit in the fuel tanks as there is all room under the roof? I think your Tamper would sound great with all the sirens etc, something a bit different is always good. Thanks for the offer on the speakers mate I will send you a PM. Cheers Peter. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ess1uk Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 Would you believe I'm sat here reading a copy of Model Rail from Xmas 2010 with Leaford in it! My Dad brought it over for me to have a look at Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hampshire Hog Posted March 11, 2013 Author Share Posted March 11, 2013 (edited) My thanks for the nice comment class"66". Hi Jamie 7APT7 in answer to your question: "with the Lights working on the lorry, was this easy or hard to accomplish..." This photo was taken through a magnifying glass, once I had worked out how I could see enough to be able to solder the armature wire onto the LED without it flicking into oblivion!! then the rest was reletively easy just drilling holes in the model in the right places in order to feed wires through, the solution was to stick double sided tape onto a baccy tin which was enough to hold the LED in place whilst I soldered it, mind you I still lost 2 LED's through them being attracted to the bloody soldering iron!!! Also Leafords next exhibition is the Brockenhurst (New Forest) Show on the bank holiday weekend at the end of May, hopefully see you there. ess1uk wrote, "Would you believe I'm sat here reading a copy of Model Rail from Xmas 2010 with Leaford in it!

Hampshire Hog Posted March 11, 2013 Author Share Posted March 11, 2013 Hi Kevin, First a blue class 45 and now a class 25, is Leaford going back to the 80s? Cheers Peter. Hello Pete, I don't think I ever left the 80's or the 70's come to that, I have a class 40 lurking somewhere, however whilst rummaging in the loft t'other day I did come across another relic from the past. Class 87 101 Stephenson. And another lighting job from the present is Wilts & Dorset Optare Delta L505AJT on route 65 to Romsey waiting outside Leaford station..
