An object lesson in patience and determination...and the loco is a beauty :-)Iain Robinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03633733907566547236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9074654920193695267.post-21379534689691953952016-04-22T21:29:06.832+10:002016-04-22T21:29:06.832+10:00Great work, Ray.

Shows what can be done when some thought & experimentation is invested in a model.<br />Cheers,<br />LindsayLindsayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14012927702258975301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9074654920193695267.post-27055954170133579892016-04-19T14:34:15.555+10:002016-04-19T14:34:15.555+10:00Colin

Lo...Colin<br /><br />See my next blog post for some answers.<br /><br />Looks like I have the cab light within 6" of where it should be then.<br /><br />I guess pressing a function button is equivalent to unscrewing the bulb.<br /><br />The cab light in the Eureka D50 can be set up to be automatic like you were asking.<br /><br />The QSI Titan is a very good decoder with a lot of great features the only problem is they are almost impossible to get at the retail level. Not sure why, but they are going into OEM models.<br /><br />My impression of QSI Industries is that it is a very small company and I know that the guy running QSI Solutions by himself has another full time job. Too much to do and no time perhaps.<br /><br />I only hope that they get the Titans back out on the retail market not that I have many locos left to put decoders in.<br /><br /><br />Regards,<br />Ray<br /><br />Ray Phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16624865987062727847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9074654920193695267.post-5669927252423368852016-04-19T11:21:48.768+10:002016-04-19T11:21:48.768+10:00Good working Ray, you have the patience that in th...Good working Ray, you have the patience that in the end pays off.<br /><br />Using the QSI sound & it seems to have some extras for the light programing, not sure if it can be done but would make for realistic operation even if automatic.<br /><br />In general having lights means the need to have the dynamo on, meaning can the decoder be programed to operate that way, dynamo on = lights on, but need to retain separate control to turn each lighting feature off such as markers, headlight.<br /><br />The cab light on older loco's such as all the freighters, & 32 etc, sat roughly in line with the rear extreme edge of the cab porthole.<br /><br />The only way to turn the cab light off on these engines was to unscrew the bulb sufficiently to break the circuit contacts, this was always done once you were ready to move, more especially outside metro working, it helped block reflection into the front windscreens.<br /><br />My aim once I get back into things is to try & get the cab lighting feature controlled on/off when the model is stationary = on, but once it starts moving that it goes off. I understand its possible with some decoders but not sure with all.<br /><br />Cheers<br /><br />ColColin Husseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10166476334786660482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9074654920193695267.post-9893162463841637242016-04-18T06:53:27.781+10:002016-04-18T06:53:27.781+10:00All that for a cablight and seperate functioning m...All that for a cablight and seperate functioning markers?
