Absolutely , magnificent Ron tip top !!
What an amazing layout 👍👍👍
Ron, your home made roundhouse is just fantastic. I love the overall harmony of light green and cream colours, the equipments look as if they were made in Liverpool !
Thank you for your kind comments, I did try to replicate the materials, colours, and assembly methods of Dublo pre-war
There are layouts and then there's Ron's layout.....marvellous
Never seen such a clean, clever and large layout !
what a great layout. i still have my hornby dublo from 1956 packed in the loft. i wish i had the space to run it.
This Dublo layout is fascinating. So many interesting features. Excellent layout to operate. The videos of this layout are never dull always good to watch.
Thanks for taking the time to explain the workings of your layout. Making the features work really brings it to life.
Hi Ronald Another very interesting video, you have incorporated lots of automation into your layout and I found it fascinating to watch. Very well done. Dave
I'm thoroughly enjoying these videos. Thankyou. When I eventually get around to unpacking all my 00 collection and have the time and space to build a new layout I'll be incorporating your route selection method using diodes. Brilliant, thankyou for this clear explanation which even electrical dunces like me can understand!
I work for the SNCF in France and this reminds me of the PRS (Poste d'aiguillage à Relais Souple) at Lyon Part Dieu station where I worked as duty station manager 15 years ago. Route selection in and out of the station resembled your system. The technology in the PRS was already over 20years old where I worked there and dated from the opening of the station and the first TGV line from Lyon to Paris in 1981. Now it has all gone replaced by a huge computer control centre a few km up the line.
Brilliant.
hi your points wiring is very like the logic that's in reel to reel decks coils are re lays button and the button on the front of the unit i do a lot of tape deck
re pairs
I am curious to know how many Hornby locomotives you own ? Are you missing any model ?
Yes I have the complete range of Dublo 2 and 3 rail rolling stock and accessories displayed on the layout.
Thank you for explaining how you use diodes to control your points. Can I ask are you using a capacitor discharge unit with the diodes?
Hi Martin, No I don't find the need for a CDU and not sure how they might affect the diodes. Regards, Ron
