B.O.D.

Many thanks. My setting out is almost complete now.

Many thanks. I’ll check out my draft tack layout when the photos come through.

I’m just finalising laying the track on my TT layout and have a query about the track distance to utilise a TT double engine shed. i am looking at either the Hornby (TT9006) pre-made model of the Modelux double shed. Can anyone confirm the track centres for the two tracks entering the shed so I can set the track prior to fixing it. Thanks.

Firstly apologies if this subject has already been raised but I can’t seem to find any specific reference to it. I am finalising my new TT:120 layout and the last item on my checklist is to sort out the point motors. I am disabled so mounting the motors under the baseboard is not really an option (wiring can be under the board) so I am looking for a reliable motor which can be mounted above. I understand that Hornby”s R8243 is not comparable with their TT:120 points so I would like some steering towards any other above board point motors that will suffice and also any enclosure in order to disguise it. Any help would be great so I finally complete my design and get some track ordered.

Thanks everyone. I do have a spare 4 amp Hornby brick PSU so I will down down that route to power the 6010s.

96RAF Firstly apologies for the multiple posts but the forum crashed the first couple of times I tried to post it and it didn’t show up. Basically all I would like to do it to control the locos via Bluetooth with HM7000 directly via a direct connection to the track with a brick type 4 amp power supply. Then I would like a simple way to control points, lights, etc. I’m still putting things together at the moment prior to starting the build but I would like to install a system that will not require major alterations in the future which is why I was looking at Bluetooth again it’s HM6010s as this has minimal wiring. I hope that above makes sense.

Apologies, title should read HM6010.

Following discussions yesterday I have now redesigned my layout to incorporate a number of HM6010 units into my layout to operate points, lights, etc. I note for the user guide for the HM6010 unit running under DCC it takes power for the track rather than a dedicated power supply. I plan to use a brick 4 amp supply directly connected to the track. Can I use fishplate droppers from the powered track to the HM6010 units to power them or do I need to look at other solutions?

Following yesterdays posts concerning using the HM6010 unit for controlling points, etc when using HM7000, I have noticed from the User Guide for the HM6010 that it needs to be powered from the track rather than a separate power supply when using it with DCC. My intention is to use a 4 amp power supply directly connected to a R8241 to power the track. Can the HM6010 units (I will be using at leat 5 of them controlling points, lights, etc) to be powered from dropper fishplates or do I need to look at other options.

Great. Many thanks to you all for information. Now to build the layout.

Great, I’ll go down that route. I note from the details of the 6010 you can only control 3 units from one devise. Does this still stand or does HM7000 get over this limitation?

Many thanks for that. In you opinion which is the best option for me at the moment as my aim is to try and have a totally HM7000 controlled system?

Thanks for the information which is very useful. Does anyone have any idea when the R8247 v2.0 is due for release or is it a just wait and see scenario after the release of the HM7040 in the summer?

Sorry if this has already been raised but I am starting to design and build my first layout in over 40 years. After a lot of reading I have decided in the new HM7000 to power the track and operate the locomotives. My query is about the control of points and other accessories. Can this be done through the HM7000 app or so I have to have a separate DCC/analogue system for the accessories? If they can be controlled via the app how is this powered and wired. Thanks in anticipation.

Thanks all. the calculation should be: (240cmx76)/120) My initial query on this was seeing if a 10’ x 6’ OO layout OO layout would fit easily on a 8’ x 4’ board in TT:120 gauge. I’m going to experiment with a couple of previously issued OO layouts and see what happens when I build them with TT:120 track (when enough arrives). I’post the results in due course.
