The Clay Hill Line OO Garden Railway, A4 Falcon DCC Sound on a sunny day

What a great day, out first thing cleaning the track to run my new engine, with the help from my boys, i have bought a wireless Bachmann system but no good for outside as when the sun comes out you lose all signal & the trains stop dead, so will have to save up for the gaugemaster, should of bought in the first place, you live & learn

Love the A4 with sound. Once you've got the wireless control you'll kick yourself for having bought infrared. I live in a "noisy" electrical environment and tested my NCE radio by using a Class 20 in the front room of my house and with a wireless computer on plus two mobile phones got a friend to tell me if the loco worked when I controlled it from the back fence, about 55 metres away. No problems at all. Thanks for subbing to me,I've subbed to you.

Hi, infrared.ok in doors, no good outside so its the Gaugemaster wireless for me, the Bachmann infrared came from a set so did not cost to much, also the power output is rubbish it should be 2.5amp but when you test it is less then 1amp, i see why there are so many for sale on eBay "LOL"

Thanks, i am so please with the loco, have to be careful with her as they cost so much to have chipped & lights fitted, i had this done at Olivia's Trains Sheffield so much better than standard sound that come fitted, cheers Richard

Is the Gaugemaster you intend to have 5amp as my NCE is 5amp and it provides ample power for the line. It is also 14.25 volts ac for the track. NCE recommended that all rails be bonded and that a power feed be taken from the main bus wires for each length of track to insure complete electrical continuity of the line. If you bond all the rail joints you will find from time to time that bonds drop off and need to be resoldered
