@Too Tall - the editing time is set at 15 minutes. If you are finding that to be any different please let us know. R-

In that instance, my post was 10 minutes old and wouldn't let me edit. 😁

It has been suggested the clock starts when you start to respond to a post, but not proven, just awry edit window.

Simple answer here - remove the clock. It is both detrimental and unnecessary. 

If Chris was still around, he’d be going mental. He often said he opened tabs then composed posts over extended periods.

So following Richard’s excellent tutorial I have done my 4 mk3’s this week and it works a treat.

my slight tweaks - used a bridge rectifier instead of 4 diodes, used a 330uf capacitor (just fits in) and increased the resistor value as I found it a bit to bright (and I am running my rails at 18v)

also as the 1st and buffet have orange seats, as opposed to blue in the others I found the light colour from outside was too different, so I removed the orange seats by the 2 screws and sprayed them a similar blue to the others. Job done 👍 

will probably have a go at my mark 1’s next as now have all the components.

These are all great but I have no real skill in such matters, so may have to wait for TT scale Maglights!
