It looks great! Although there is no drawn on bricks or corrugated iron pattern for the first attempt at 3D designing.<br />

When looking into costs to have this little beauty printed.. it would unfortunately cost around $150 to get it 3D printed through Shapeways overseas. With the chance of it coming back wrong or broken and the fact that I have never printed something before, I just wasn't going to take the risk. (this time)</div>

So over the next few weeks ill tackle making it out of styrene sheet, should be fun! </div>

So no more control box at this stage (maybe it might come back for points in the future). </div><div><br></div><div>So today I began removing the plugs and wiring those connections to the track power leads which run almost the full length of the board making it easy to wire up track droppers. These track power leads will connect straight to the Digittrax DCC control box.</div><div><br></div><div>The other little toy that I now have working is a 'frog juicer' a circuit board designed to change the polarity of the 'frogs' in points. Or in my case the double slips 'frogs'. Positive and negative power is wired into the side, while the leads that connect to the 'frogs' just get wired into one of 6 slots. ( I am using a 6 pin version - frog juicer). It's that simple when the train moves over frog the circuit board determines the correct polarity in milliseconds. </div><div><br></div><div>Now to create a few more droppers and then it's onto the other two modules!! </div><div><br></div><div><br><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4dfylE17IbjepSAkJTjhLKyWMsoFwgAkRo9H8ZN4FfoJk5nRh4usLpB6NX2SLTIZoeCcxWHw7bSL4FxBQ6kxfrvfuEV5epKUWNeQM5g3TPSVCHjyJLBk-COvRwF_uCAcpgIPFVDYNiPg/s640/blogger-image-338908909.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4dfylE17IbjepSAkJTjhLKyWMsoFwgAkRo9H8ZN4FfoJk5nRh4usLpB6NX2SLTIZoeCcxWHw7bSL4FxBQ6kxfrvfuEV5epKUWNeQM5g3TPSVCHjyJLBk-COvRwF_uCAcpgIPFVDYNiPg/s640/blogger-image-338908909.jpg"></a><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4dfylE17IbjepSAkJTjhLKyWMsoFwgAkRo9H8ZN4FfoJk5nRh4usLpB6NX2SLTIZoeCcxWHw7bSL4FxBQ6kxfrvfuEV5epKUWNeQM5g3TPSVCHjyJLBk-COvRwF_uCAcpgIPFVDYNiPg/s640/blogger-image-338908909.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRvaK39hI9GhECyMAQGEY0_2eJmRH3cE_A9bR8OaKeHtCXnAEBfVnj-6YMHaEMCZK3pFvo15nstJOw237Qb_0cLRphnCyVhAKCmZL1UwXUt_VGgU8OFWOU9mWFGemeIq0pIJHkB32Z0DQ/s640/blogger-image--116572375.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRvaK39hI9GhECyMAQGEY0_2eJmRH3cE_A9bR8OaKeHtCXnAEBfVnj-6YMHaEMCZK3pFvo15nstJOw237Qb_0cLRphnCyVhAKCmZL1UwXUt_VGgU8OFWOU9mWFGemeIq0pIJHkB32Z0DQ/s640/blogger-image--116572375.jpg"></a><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRvaK39hI9GhECyMAQGEY0_2eJmRH3cE_A9bR8OaKeHtCXnAEBfVnj-6YMHaEMCZK3pFvo15nstJOw237Qb_0cLRphnCyVhAKCmZL1UwXUt_VGgU8OFWOU9mWFGemeIq0pIJHkB32Z0DQ/s640/blogger-image--116572375.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjH-W-x1NbeVe0Ypu3be2dYsjo8B51XzhzE46SZJ2g7QCJFLDqOowR_d05-MxamInmglb7G3NcqntstLCMdsQpzDmO6DC3ehGms8k3vmWaXbXrgm6htH8hvIfWXZsPb-V-qS3GIpGtL6fU/s640/blogger-image--1746284485.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjH-W-x1NbeVe0Ypu3be2dYsjo8B51XzhzE46SZJ2g7QCJFLDqOowR_d05-MxamInmglb7G3NcqntstLCMdsQpzDmO6DC3ehGms8k3vmWaXbXrgm6htH8hvIfWXZsPb-V-qS3GIpGtL6fU/s640/blogger-image--1746284485.jpg"></a></div></div></div></div>Markhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14473590683175370373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3445598308466972882.post-56521635000176852812013-05-29T22:57:00.001+10:002013-05-29T22:57:46.901+10:00Gone to DCCWhile at the Albury train show I was given a DCC lesson by the Sydney N Scale team and I thought I have to have this! <div><br></div><div>So I purchased a Digitrax DSC50 I understand that it has now been superseded but I was told it was perfect for what I needed to run Euroa. </div><div><br></div><div>I also grabbed a DCC ready Kato SD40 which will of course be converted to a C Class once I purchase the shell/kit from Aust-N-Rail.</div><div><br></div><div>How will it be wired?

I joined the Murray Railway Modellers group and have been given wiring diagrams to make my own controllers.</div>
<div>
The plan is to have the one main controller to control the whole thing. I added a switch in the control box to allow a second controller to take over the yard. </div>

So insulated joiners are used to do this, and isolate sections, chosen by the end user. <br />
<br />
The diagram has to be drawn up correctly in a program like Adobe Illustrator, ProDesktop, or Corel. Then saved for the program Euroa Secondary College uses, with there Roland CNC machine, Dr Engraver- which requires a .BMP file.<br />
<br />
The CNC machine cut the diagram out and the holes for the switches, but it didn't show up easily for the eye to tell the difference between where it had cut and where the original plastic was left. <br />
<br />
That meant hours of painting and masking to get a smooth well done paint job of the lines, I was pushed for time and didn't want to do it this way. So what then was done was I went to Splash Gecko <a href="http://splashgecko.com.au/">http://splashgecko.com.au/</a> where I have done work experience and with Signage Vinyl and board I used Flexisign to cut my design into the vinyl. This was laid on the corflute board with app tape-technical words! :) to allow the vinyl to be applied. I then cut out the holes for the switches and super glued and hot glued the switches in!<br />
<br />
So a simple circuit diagram was not that simple!<br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">After travelling to train shows and seeing what others are doing and how they hold or join there modules Ive just used what I think is the best and easiest! </span></div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
<em><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Basically the screw in legs allow easy change of height, all though the metal nut is in the wrong side the idea still works screw it in the leg gets shorter, screw it out and the leg/height of the module gets higher!</span></em></div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
<em><strong><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Making it this easy means less time trying to align track and correct height differences when setting up!</span></strong></em></div>

I drew up the track diagram with help from Rob from Aust N Rail in a program called Anyrail <a href="http://www.anyrail.com/index_en.html">http://www.anyrail.com/index_en.html</a> which is just fantastic because the diagram as below was printed to actual size to make sure things fitted on the modules, there are the options within the program to place in the points and objects sold by the leading companies and it also allows you to see if the radius's are to tight or not, so yep its recommended!, <br />
We discussed removing a couple of points around the goods shed which we couldn't have due to size constraints of the modules., but in doing this we were able to still have the double slip which is great for shunting in the yard later down the track!<br />
<br />
Below are a couple of photographs of the printed diagram and how I used it!<br />

The ply (3mm) top was a little fragile in the last couple of days of class, so I decided that it was best to add some support to make sure if weight was added on top of the case that it wouldn't break the ply, -well as easy anyway! so 5 pieces of pine cut to the correct width and 40mm height were glued and screwed into the framing to support the top. <br />
<br />
The case with the modules in it, weighs a fair bit, and carrying it with 2 people is possible but not for a long distance, so I purchased some casters. The back of the case has fixed wheels screwed on, while the front has the swivel type so allow some movement in any direction, the reason for two of each to be fitted is so that it makes the case easily moved without wheels going in all directions! <em>In saying that I need a locking system so that it doesnt take off on you, while unloading and loading the modules into the case!! </em><br />

Well after all the hard work modules are finally starting to stand on there own!!<br />
<br />
The legs from Bunnings were a metre in length those are now 800mm tall and have the Leggz bit in the top to screw into the underneath of the module. <br />

Using the combination of a belt sander, and a planer (if I remembered the correct name) I removed material from each side to allow the module to fit. 3 Shelves were required and the 4th module sits on the ply bottom part of the frame.<br />

<br />
I just pre drilled some holes each end and once marked and gaps between selves checked, leaving height for the modelling to be done onto the module the shelves were screwed into place.<br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">So I added some cut thin 3mm ply pieces to one sides frame joints to increase the width a little!</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">There are no real joints for this one, just straight butt to butt and liquid nails, and a screw!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">I pre drilled some parts to get a tight bond, so that the piece behind is brought forward to the top piece's back making the screw just pop through the pre drilled hole gripping into the back piece,</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Below are construction photos at home, cut with a bench saw which I had to read up on to learn how to use. Safety Glasses and an apron is recommended! </span><br />

<br />
So I went down to bunnings warehouse, and spoke to a bloke in there about my idea. Hoping I didnt talk in riddles about my concept...<br />
<br />
He put me onto the brand called <b>Leggz</b> unfortunately I cant get a website, but these little furniture studs are fantastic, basically a little nut (similar to) with some grips gets hammered on top of either the underneath or the leg top and then a little screw/bolt gets screwed into the opposite bit eg the leg top, and there we have it a easy screw the legs onto the module when required then all we do is unscrew them once we are finished.<br />
<br />
Sorry if thats not making sense ill try and get some more photo up!<br />
<br />
A pack of 4 are around $10 (that is either a pack of bolts with the grips, or the screw/bolt rod)<br />

<i>*Update 2013 May. - I would not recommend these for long legs or at all.. they come loose and wreck the timber. </i>Markhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14473590683175370373noreply@blogger.com
