Prognosis H0 model railroad - "The town from the dining room"

[prognosis]

Reconditioning paper produced by 19-67 layout Piko Warburg, continued with the installation of signal achievement police! To this end, we decided that in addition to the classic warning beacon, to beautify the toy with two strobes, especially because my friend Razvan Marin, gave me a flashlight assembly from a damaged bike, but have a chip capable of stroboscopes imitate that I need. Thus, we removed from the casing assembly that flashlight, I adapted to my needs extracting action switch, which I placed in box order. Propriuzis assembly was located on the body, behind the banquet, where we pulled the wires to the wiring done for the Beacon and made the front of the car. When I mounted a flashing white LED Neon, and on stoboscoape I used two blue leds. On this occasion, I have no headlights restored using a transparent Plexiglas 3 mm thick, polished and etched to form dipped in relief with triangular cell so as to resemble as much as I remember it looked original headlights, lost in the fog To illuminate their childhood ... I used two white LED / hot, which will be operated from the switch. Are still working on lighting a stage, I want to mount the first phase in the headlights and rear positions, then adding the signaling system and reversing direction.

On this occasion I repaired and installed the original horn masinutei ....

Work continued with installation of signal change in direction of travel. This facility operates according to the position of the front wheels, so when they are positioned to directly forward, lights are off and run when the car turns left / right indicator lights are blinking on the face and back. Disk command these lights is powered by servo direction and shown in the following picture.

Diodes used are 1.8 mm, punctual type and assembly that provide intermittent comes from another Chinese toy, as for current needs. Toete front lights are on one rigleta, removable by bending without screws and without seams so that it can intervene in ceremonious moment.

Rehabilitation of a Rover

http://trenulete.info/reabilitarea-unui-rover/

Another toy, this time something new generation of bought for my child, somewhere in the 90s, after the revolution, this car is still being controlled cable, I think some Chinese, I do not remember. I only know that summer sent to grandparents, Alex, my boy, took the toy with him to court, where participants play their neighbors, took care to dismantle and destroy the Land Rover. But I remember that one day, his grandmother called me call me to court because Alex is no longer stops crying. I found out that because he had broken toy sleep. We promised then that'll fix it, but that it lacked the entire steering system, gearbox and transmission ferfenita was made with the engine torn cabbage and sprockets, in those days forced me to put a toy in a box and let later. I rediscovered a wheelchair looking for Wartburg, otherwise unavailable, and I wanted to be next on the list this car rebilitarilor childhood soul of my son!

Here I am at work! A little discouraged by the lack of gear, I improvised a first engine and transmission gears from the lego games! It was relatively easy to scrape up a gear, especially the engine of lego game already has a three redoubts / and a large gears with teeth rare, are preferable because they produce zgomor so great as those with small teeth. Said and done, only to test my build I found ineffective, whereas in speed / power, the car did not have the necessary strength to climb even moving from linoleum to carpet ...


As such, we went to phase two, eke another gear with parts supplied. We chose a 3-volt little engine from a chinezarie, gears from the mechanism of dismembered dolls and support gear I made to order convenient to just inside the cut surface provided for the original transmission. We used 3 mm thick forex and sometimes a thick ABS ... Finally came a gear solid, quiet and with a speed / power satisfying. In tests, Land Rover has successfully scaled up and put his foot in the way of toys.


I went with the first adjusting direction and had the gift to create the prerequisites for a very precise planning mechanism that will directly drive the toy. I do not think I will mount the signs and directions, but basically you use the same method by servo-drivers used to Wartburg. It's so important that the space inside the toy allows the installation of gadgets and I'll take advantage of this.

If you have such models, you want to give them for reconditioning are happy to buy them because I want to make a small exhibit of old toys rehabilitated. Thank you in advance!
I will return with details depending on the evolution of work!

Piko BR 52 Steam Locomotive - Engine change

http://trenulete.info/locomotiva-cu-abur-br-52-piko-schimbare-motor/

I continued to work on the elegant Piko BR 52, which some time ago I installed LED lighting them. Today I replaced the engine traction engine which, although cleaned and reconditioned, gave still misfiring and jamming. It should be noted that the model is a Piko, the old generation collector motor with discoid rather cumbersome, noisy and large consumer. If we managed to get hold of a little engine, all Piko for Br 55-G7, I did the necessary tests and after I found concordance between engine power and speed, we decided to use it. The first phase was to change the rotor shaft, the little engine that does not protrude from both ends. I extracted so I replaced the rotor and shaft too short and that came out only on one side, using a bicycle spokes, the same diameter, which shaft I stand mounted so both sides of the engine. After testing geared motor, I proceeded to mount the engine. This is what I imagined and created a clamping device carried on a nice circuit, I set the shock coils, and fins for collecting blood from the original collectors or passing under the engine. On this plate I mounted a piece of Plexiglas, under it, in which I practiced a threaded hole to catch all the entire bottom surface of the tender. On the top we set the new electric motor. Used for the universal couplings are original, set to drop on the electric motor shaft.

The work performed resulted in a much quieter engine, more powerful and consume less energy. also above the engine to create an empty space, enough to mount a digital decoder. In this way, the beautiful locomotive received a new chance.

Revision of the double bunk Piko

http://trenulete.info/revizia-unui-etajat-dublu-de-la-piko-2/

Revision of this double-storied wagon and the ancient Piko, continued at the request of the owner to change interior lights based on LED lamps and final assembly at both ends. The car was equipped with a lighting system with two bulbs in each car, based on metal plates combined with cardboard. We redesigned the whole system and lighting have made boards double-plated circuit board to solve the problem of continuity circuit assembly so as not to interfere negatively with the wagon structure. We used the principle of the diode recovery current heads inside light so you walk in any direction and position lights to light at one end differently depending on the direction of travel. I used to illuminate the wagon led by two white hot resistor in series with one 1kohm and I used to position point by two red lights, which fit perfectly into place the original lamp. These two are connected in parallel with each other and in series with a 1 kOhm resistor. To eliminate flicker assembly is supported by one capacitor of 2200 micro / 35 volt mounted at both ends. Recovery type diodes are 1N 4007. Plate is fixed to the ceiling made using pieces of double adhesive.

Hi all!
I wanted to ask if you can search the store ads to you, if you somehow find the mechanism of image! It is a bogie scale 1 / 87 H0 ... In my country I can not find! Maybe you have better luck because I would help my inventions. Naturally I will pay! Thanks in advance and excuse me for daring! If you can not do that there is no grief!

ITB street car

http://trenulete.info/vagonul-de-tramvai-itb/

My great passion for the tram begins to take place and the diorama in Slobozia. Impressed by the success of Adrian made the U.S. model, I asked myself permission to reproduce this beautiful tram, which in my childhood school, who lived in Bucharest, I went to school about three stations (up to class 7th, when I moved with my parents in Constanta). Memories bind me rude and indifferent time when I was walking on the shoe last car that I put over the first bag and would sit comfortably, I made me want to run the ITB diorama made me a wagon full.

Thanks to Adrian Ionut Crenganis, I got plans sidewall and I started realizing the project developed in Corel and the remaining parts, ie fronts, floors and roof. I submitted the design for laser cutting of Mr Alexander Crystal SpotDesign company in Bucharest, which was kind enough to help me in this project, offering to cut my wagon walls, difficult operation to be executed climb, considering that windows are very apopiate and have rounded corners. Scale 1 / 87 pillars between the windows are very thin, which resulted in the first phase a few unsuccessful attempts. We tried different materials but the effect was the same. The laser beam deformed by heating and melting pillars between the windows. In the last phase, the company tried to cut the wood SpotDesign, the thing that I see it! The model was executed well and will probably enter the building as soon as soon as I get a motorized bogie, because I want it to be functional.

In parallel, we made another order, the ABS cutting 1 mm wall, but this time with the cutter, I cut last year as coach automotorului Malaxa DU 77, a model which I have not quit, but I postponed the project technical and financial reasons. Basically it has to purchase a car chassis platform Piko, because I do not bring himself to destroy the equipment depot wagons PanArin functional.

Basically, you start assembling a set of wooden wagon ITB, which will make it static, then, cut to bit parts on arrival, I made and functional model.

Laser cut parts arrived on the company ....... I cut a parallel set of tracks but the mill, to another company in Slobozia. Because I took on the project initially as I got, it seems that some errors have slipped due to the fact that I did not take into account both thickness and width cutter made ​​of laser cut. As such, the whole project came out of quotas. So I restored and started drawing I made ​​my first tram car ITB. I started with the wagon wheels. Ideally to start such a project to take into account all the problems. How are the first such project, it seems that I calculated everything as needed and made numerous adjustments to parts drawings. It is very important to predict both the location mechanisms in wagon wheel tractor and trailer positioning axle wagon collected. Both will be equipped with lights and position lights, according to everyone, but will not because I installed interior lighting tinted windows. That's because you have hidden in car engine and tractor amgrenajele and would not look good a coach with tinted windows and a glazed transparent. It seems that wood is the best material for laser processing, and the cutter works best ABS.

But in the end I was showing a perfect project, without gaps, easy to install as a kitt of trade.
Thanks to the benevolence of Mr. Crystal Alexander ......., this dream will come true soon.

At this point, the test car, made ​​of plywood 1 mm thick, is on the bench of workshops PanArin and looks like this:

I managed to finalize the wagon wheels as evidence. I rounded on where they could round up, trying to bring the quota model. First is satisfactory, but the next car will be something done properly because I changed the project so that it remains material rounded corners. The roof will be slightly higher as he can be rounded according to reality.

We also made ​​chassis and tractor wagon, based on a locomotive bogie mehano engine, electric motor powered by a Japanese. For the moment the project is in phase presented in the attached pictures and movie!

Looks very nice!
Good job! Cheers!

P.S.
Have you thought about using of photo-etched parts (I mean made by thin brass plate)?
I think with appropriate software (such as coreldraw) is possible to make good detailed plan (if you have a copy of original one and pictures),
which can be used to make details, using photo-etch technology.
This car is not very difficult to make by brass, I think. The shape is not very complicated and with using
a laser engraving (on thick brass plate) you can make also frame details, bearings, bearing covers etc.

Today we continued working on the car trailer signal light ITB confectionand direction and then performing a dye test. I used acrylic spray color as the background and then the brush, I applied acrylic red Revell. The ceiling was also used dark gray acrylic Revell. With a black marker on the windows seals have done but to follow a retouching brush them, because I do not like how they went. However, this car is an experience for me and even if it comes out perfect, will be used somewhere in the yard. He is but a test platform for different solutions in making another copy later that I hope to make it more successful!

-5 ITB street car

http://trenulete.info/vagonul-de-tramvai-itb-5/

Today I made ​​a blood collection system and lighting supply board positions. Collection we used wire rope guitar no. A thickness as that collected by gentle pressure on the bandage tension wheel, and innovation to help create a small suspension, so necessary for the wheels themselves always walk, even when they go over some bumps ...

On board we mounted a power bridge rectifier, a resistance in series with two 1k LED rectangular in turn series. For stability we mounted LEDs in parallel with a capacitor of 3200 micro/35 volts, enough to cancel wasteful interruptions of supply in some moments.

Follow brumarii making windows, that until the envelope arrives with cut pieces of ........., the laser for tractor wagon. After study on the net, I discovered that there are two models of this car. One of the rear window (rear window) beveled at an angle as the windscreen in front, and one pane right, as the wagon tractor model that I saw the wagon no. 100 circulated restored in Iasi to celebrate the hundredth anniversary of electric transportation, pictures offered by Adrian Ionut Crenganis from Iasi Railway Modeling Club. So I made ​​two models of cars!

Laser cut parts arrived by wagon tractor ......, for. Because I saw two tractor type ITB car models, I decided to made ​​them both. First I will reproduce the picture sent Adrian wagon Crenganis that the railway enthusiasts club Iasi, picture the car is restored and restarted ITB in circulation in Iasi to celebrate the hundredth anniversary of electric transport! No wagon. 100 will run and diorama in Slobozia.

Traction will be provided a motive to a locomotive bogie mehano dismantled (odd), where I hooked a little engine Japanese. Here are the first photos of what I managed to do yesterday! Today I hope to finish with accessories, bars, borders, couplers, ceiling, etc.. even in the evening to give a hand to paint the base.
