We had left the turntable at Cilgerran up in the air, as it were because we ran out of time (actually the curry was ready and the nan breads were starting to burn).
Straight to work this Tuesday evening, aralditing the turntable into position, and fitting the 'table' bit so that it lined up with the rails. I had already prepared a double pole double throw switch, and all it needed was wiring in, so that one hand-held controller did everything - control the trains on the track, and at the throw of the switch control the turntable.
A dry test before soldering up, and everything worked according to plan!
Last weeks post trying out a video did work after all, so to end this post I'm going to try again, showing the turntable turning - which is what its all about, I guess.
Holding the camera in one hand and trying to manipulate the controller with the other... At least it gives you an idea of what we (mainly Colin) have achieved:
Elated with success we repaired to the dining room to feast on barbequed chicken joints and garlic bread that Patrick had brought along, together with the mandatory sausage rolls courtesy of Colin.
This Saturday we are off to Pembroke Dock Sunderland Museum where the Pembroke Modellers are holding an exhibition we are taking Pats 'Maes Y Gof'' - first time South of the County! Passports at the ready...
