The Pleasures of a Big Knob.

I'd sort of forgotten about my Lenz Compact.
It was the third DCC throttle I bought, after a Bachmann EasyDCC and a Roco LokMaus2.
I've used the LokMaus quite a bit, as its small size works well at the front of the layout when it's on its cupboard top perch; unfortunately the (ironically) larger Compact doesn't fit so conveniently. Some time after, I bought a couple of Lenz hand held controllers for a very good price and used the LH100 for programming when I started fitting decoders to my remaining locos. 
Anyway, today I took Schinkendorf to the Hereford Model Railway Show, and when packing I thought I'd dig out the Compact, and I'm really glad I did. As the layout was displayed on a GoPak table there was plenty of room to place the compact in front of the layout.
I think it may well become my first choice for exhibition operating, as it just makes it so easy and pleasant, with very little in the way of distracting functions, and, of course, a Nice Big Knob!

Lightening The Road.

I've been looking at prototype photos again, always a dangerous thing! Among others was a photo of Obing Station in Bavaria, which shows the yard and areas around the track to have been a lot lighter than I'd originally finished it.  There were also a few areas that had picked up a bit of staining, no idea where from but it looked pretty pants. So...a quick trip to Hobbycraft yielded some acrylic paints, Concrete and Mouse Grey were mixed to give a good base colour, this was then brushed over with several shades of weathering powders. I also added some fencing, along the back of the yard there's now a section of rustic wooden fencing which gives way to decidedly non-rustic Armco-style barrier. I wasn't happy with the greenery, too much in some places (the trees were hiding much of the station so were reduced), not enough in others (contemporary prototype photos show a lot of grass, weeds, etc. so more was added in likely places.  Following all this, it was time to clean...

Out of Hibernation...For Now.

I've finally got around to removing Schinkendorf from the hibernation it has endured since we moved. It doesn't seem to have suffered much from being boxed up, although the baseboard joint may need some attention and the backscene has wrinkled in places. I've now got most of the parts to mechanise the point operation (hence the engineers' train in attendance, this has nothing to do with the new (to me) blue Umbauwagen I bought yesterday 😁). Adding a control panel on a wander lead will make it more suitable for operating at exhibitions as well as at home as I can then operate from either side. What next? Well, I'd like to be able to run longer trains, so it may get incorporated into, but removable from, a larger layout. Don't hold your breath, the garage needs a lot of work to make it habitable first.

Oh, Bother...

After another winter spent slumbering in the Really Useful Boxes, last week I got Schinkendorf out again, mostly to play trains. Unfortunately, the MDF baseboards amd/or the joints between them seem to have warped in places, perhaps due to the wide variations of temperature and humidity in the garage. The worst affected place seems to be the join between the pairs of boards, as seen below: I have experimented with putting weights on the affected places, which helped, but only temporarily. I'll try again when it's a bit warmer as I think that might help. In other news, there are some new items of rolling stock, mostly for Ep.III/IV...the Roco 6-wh Umbauwagen pair seen above being particularly ideal. I also picked up a couple of Lenz handheld throttles, a Command Statiin and two heavy duty transformers for a good price recently; I'm planning to start installing and programing chips into some more locos soon, the capabilities of the Lenz LH100 should help with this...
