Coach Lighting Part 4

 

02/01/2025

Still waiting for Royal Mail to deliver my parts ordered well before Christmas! The 1000uf and 1500uf capacitors were delivered this morning just waiting for the 32 AWG wire the final piece in the jigsaw!

You know when you get those light bulb moments well today I had one regarding the dead axles on Hornby coach wheels. I have a fair few Hornby wheels on my coaches the majority have a dead axle which is no good for pickup springs therefore I have a work around. What I did was to drill a 1 millimetre hole close to the pinpoint on the axle through the wheel this enables me to force a length of copper wire stripped from some mains cable bonding the wheel to the axle voila we have a live axle; the photo will possible help.
