| 21-12 18:40:23 | rvn2001 | Bye John. Buy lots of good stuff. Merry Christmas! |
| 21-12 18:40:21 | Guba | merry christmas |
| 21-12 18:40:11 | Guba | its a mad house alreadfy |
| 21-12 18:39:58 | soccrdad30 | Merry Christmas! |
| 21-12 18:39:48 | soccrdad30 | sorry guys, wife telling me time to go grocery shopping, getting food supplies for Christmas dinner |
| 21-12 18:37:03 | soccrdad30 | I have a partial laser kit, that I have to make some new roof panels. a MTL warehouse kit missing pieces |
| 21-12 18:36:57 | Guba | The kit fit together perfectly, just that shingle job... |
| 21-12 18:36:56 | rvn2001 | Styrene sheet will work too since it will be covered with shingles. |
| 21-12 18:35:49 | Guba | yes my first project lol. |
| 21-12 18:35:33 | soccrdad30 | for a roof it should be very sturdy wood |
| 21-12 18:34:11 | rvn2001 | You can cut a new one with your new laser. I use a glue stick to apply my shingles. |
| 21-12 18:33:26 | Guba | wood, but nice details. Just think they could have done the roof better. |
| 21-12 18:32:49 | rvn2001 | Is that a wood kit? |
| 21-12 18:32:40 | soccrdad30 | oh no! too much glue? |
| 21-12 18:32:21 | Guba | My Ice House module hit a snag. The shingles made the roof warp. Gonna need a new roof. |
| 21-12 18:32:11 | rvn2001 | I've been adding greenery. Everything else is done. |
| 21-12 18:32:10 | soccrdad30 | after Christmas, I plan to work on more Z too |
| 21-12 18:31:43 | Guba | Nice |
| 21-12 18:31:08 | rvn2001 | My Psycho module is close to being done. |
| 21-12 18:30:58 | soccrdad30 | very true... |
| 21-12 18:30:37 | Guba | As I said, you have some cool electronics projects |
| 21-12 18:29:41 | soccrdad30 | interesting... |
| 21-12 18:28:46 | rvn2001 | Correct. |
| 21-12 18:28:35 | soccrdad30 | and each contact is using both axles to procure power contact |
| 21-12 18:28:06 | rvn2001 | I'm using a bridge rectifier so that polarity doesn't matter. |
| 21-12 18:27:28 | rvn2001 | Correct. |
| 21-12 18:27:11 | soccrdad30 | so, one set of wheels is positive and the other set of wheels are negative? |
| 21-12 18:26:52 | rvn2001 | I installed his weights for the Marklin GG-1 in the locos that Ellen and I have. They fit correctly and the locos run well. |
| 21-12 18:26:31 | soccrdad30 | I never checked them out before |
| 21-12 18:25:00 | rvn2001 | Yes it is. |
| 21-12 18:24:25 | soccrdad30 | their etching is fantastic |
| 21-12 18:23:29 | rvn2001 | The wipers are designed for Marklin passenger cars, but I'm sure I can make them work with MTL/Uncle Will trucks and metal wheels. |
| 21-12 18:23:27 | Guba | I'll have to look for those |
| 21-12 18:23:26 | soccrdad30 | they have some cool stuff |
| 21-12 18:21:41 | soccrdad30 | gotta check those out |
| 21-12 18:21:38 | rvn2001 | Yes, John. Jim has a few. |
| 21-12 18:21:15 | rvn2001 | I bought some wheel wipers from Zmodell that Z Scale Monster sells. |
| 21-12 18:21:14 | soccrdad30 | they were not cheap |
| 21-12 18:20:12 | soccrdad30 | I thought someone on ebay at one time made lighted cabs using a wheel pickup. Did'nt Jim have a few? |
| 21-12 18:18:56 | Guba | Thom what are you using for wheel pick up. Did you make your own or adapt ? |
| 21-12 18:18:36 | soccrdad30 | Okay, good to know and remember! |
| 21-12 18:17:33 | rvn2001 | You can. At least one of the wheels has to be isolated so as to not short out...unless they're both isolated.. |
| 21-12 18:16:23 | soccrdad30 | can't remember if one could do that with Fox Valley wheels... |
| 21-12 18:15:32 | rvn2001 | I think that's what I've got, John. |
