[quote user="jjbmish"] <p>It's been great watching the progress of your layout. Keep the photos coming.</p><p> </p><p>John</p><p>[/quote]</p><p><strong>Finally back to work on the layout - here is the latest !</strong></p><p>I got the furniture project mostly complete. A few adjustments to doors/drawers when the counter top goes on, in a couple of weeks. The customer is happy and paid in full; so now I have train money (some of it already spent).</p><p>I added a ramp meter to the layout. I was somewhat concerned about amperage consumption with my six sound units running. The display is DCC voltage over amperage used.</p><p>[IMG]http://i111.photobucket.com/albums/n123/Alan_B/012407-001_r.jpg[/IMG]</p><p>I did several comparisons to see what was really happening:</p><p>[IMG]http://i111.photobucket.com/albums/n123/Alan_B/012407-comp.jpg[/IMG]</p><p>from left to right - top row:</p><p> Layout on, no units accessed yet</p><p> Short on one power district</p><p> Old Roundhouse Shay running, one 4-4-0 running and one 4-6-0 climbing the 2% grade</p><p>Bottom row:</p><p> All six engines at idle, sound on, lights on and all bells ringing (boy what a racket)</p><p> One 4-4-0, one 4-6-0 and one 0-6-0 running</p><p>The full lineup sitting on the layout:</p><p> Two P2k 0-6-0 with sound</p><p> Two Roundhouse 4-4-0 with sound</p><p> Two Bachmann 4-6-0 with Tsunami sound</p><p> One old Roundhouse Shay (built from a kit 15 years ago)</p><p> I am continuing work on the Atlas switch tower construction.</p><p>[IMG]http://i111.photobucket.com/albums/n123/Alan_B/012407-008_r.jpg[/IMG]</p><p>[IMG]http://i111.photobucket.com/albums/n123/Alan_B/012407-007_r.jpg[/IMG]</p><p> </p><p>More progress when it happens.
