That's an impressive set of videos! Jeff Betcher Country: Canada | Posts: 685 Ojaste Section Hand Posted - 02/19/2017 :  10:02:01 AM     Thanks for the comments, they are really appreciated. This is very much a work in progress as all railroad layouts are. Marty Marty Country: Canada | Posts: 74 Ojaste Section Hand Posted - 02/18/2019 :  2:27:30 PM     Here is a quick update of what has been happening with the Diorama. Progress has been slow, but it is ticking along when I am not napping https://youtu.be/A-HlqPy6Klw Marty Edited by - Ojaste on 02/18/2019 2:28:20 PM Country: Canada | Posts: 74 Tyson Rayles Moderator Premium Member Posted - 02/19/2019 :  08:33:55 AM     Very nice! Country: USA | Posts: 12911 Ojaste Section Hand Posted - 02/20/2019 :  5:26:20 PM     I got a burst of energy and lite up Gran Ma! https://youtu.be/3z5TPWoKg4A Marty Edited by - Ojaste on 02/20/2019 5:26:48 PM Country: Canada | Posts: 74 Ojaste Section Hand Posted - 03/06/2019 :  12:29:15 PM     Sometimes life gives your "grain of Wheat" lightbulbs and you think it is great to brighten up a scene. Then some wise guy comes along with an LED and a resistor and you praise its benefits and throw away those old fashion small bulbs. Good riddance you unreliable over heated glass spheres. A smarter guy comes along and says " Resistors schmisters" why are doing all that math and constantly changing resistors to get the best light? Here use a "Current Limiter" it provides a constant 20 ma to the LED and you don't have to do much math. Then some other wiser guy looks at your structure is and blinded by the super duper bright LEDs burning his retina out. After recovering from a hospital stay he says why did't you use a high OHM resistor to dull down that LED. Your answer is you told me to use a current limiter, now you are telling me to add a resistor to reduce the laser quality intensity? Proof! go away. But wait there is a better way! Have you considered these new DCC controller accessory adaptors that allow you to eliminate both the resistors and current limiters? Say WHAT! you can do that? Yes, you ignorant nerd. Heh keep it clean and don't insult every railway modeller that ever installed a bulb or LED. He goes on to say that NCE has this thing that is called a "Light-It" where you can connect three normal LEDs to it and control the LED intensity form your DCC controller. You do not need any resistors or current limiters and all those grain of wheat bulbs are headed to the dump. WHAT! You are messing with me aren't you? Nope, life goes on and lighting your structures can't get any easier. What do I have to do? Its simple, just follow all the instruction in the NCE Light-It manual. Yes, it will mean you have to read and do some re-work, but it will be worth in the long run until some smart A#$ comes up with a better way. (If they do, turn and run) So here I am having some dioramas and structures in the Justice City Diorama/Layout that needed to be converted to using the NCE Light-It modules. This video is not a how to do (I don't do that type of video) but a video to provide some inspiration on what can be done with the NCE Light-It. And what I had to go through to convert a couple structures from Current Limiter type installations. https://youtu.be/Mk-cA9THaX0 Enjoy, be inspired and question your lighting choices to see if you can use this type of technology. (PS: Here is my NCE Light-It Playlist, https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL9wlL7wHNjWCFz5sTMYPFrsWQLIABDNwv Marty Edited by - Ojaste on 03/06/2019 12:44:19 PM Country: Canada | Posts: 74   Topic    New Topic |    New Poll |   Reply to Topic |  Jump To: Select Forum Railroad Line Administrative Forums       Forum News       Administrative Posts General Forums       WorkShops, Garage, Machines and Tools       The Tour Bus       The Arrival Track       RR-L Member Personal Websites       The Crew Lounge       The Classroom       Interchange Tracks       Rail Events       Reference & Research Model Railroad Forums       The Sn3 Branch       Mike Chambers' Craftsman's Corner       HOn30 and HOn3 Forum       Early Rail Forum       Dead Rail Forum       The On30 Line       Railroad Photography Forum       Small Scale Model Railroad Forum       Mid Scale Model Railroad Forum       Large Scale Model Railroad Forum       Logging, Mining, & Narrow minded       Model Railroad Construction       Micro & Mini Layouts       Layout Design / Operation Sig Forum       Startin' from Scratch       DCC, Computers and Electronics for Model Railroads Shop Talk       Vehicle and Non-Rail Transportation Modeling       The Steam Shop       The Roundhouse       Rolling Stock: the Car Shops       The Diesel Shop Company Store       Railroad-Line Swap Meet       New Product Announcements Fallen Flag Railroad Forums       Erie / Lackawanna Railroad Forum       Raritan River Railroad Forum Railroad Software Forums       Atlas Right Track Software       Railroad Line Software Library Model Railroad Club Forums       The Model Railroad Club Forum Sponsor Forums       Rusty Stumps Scale Models       KingMill Enterprises Railroad Line Weblinks       Badger Creek Lumber Co.       Central Missouri & Southern RR       Raritan River Railroad       Thor's All Gauge Page  -------------------- Home Active Topics Frequently Asked Questions Member Information Search Page Railroad Line Forums © 2000-19 Railroad Line Co.
