There are a lot of rail cuts - not just the top, but right through to create separate detection zones for the computer to control them.. DT

Class 205 Thumper visits McKinley
Alan just got the latest Howes sound for his new Thumper. It looks and sounds fantastic - so we thought it worth sharing with you. If McKinley was in the Southern Region, we'd have a few these in... -

You don't need a separate booster. The PM42 works as follows: If you have a short circuit one output zone of track, the PM42 protects the booster and up to three other zones of track from cutting out too. So on McKinley Railway we have one PM42 with four zones in a terminus station. If an operator causes a short-circuit in the sidings, the main station areas and engine shed are wired to different zones and are theefore protected and keep working because they are on separate output zones.

Its just great to hear the engine sounds... The cutting really amplifies them.
Is it possible to shield your microphone from the surrounding cameras going click whir click?

Hi Eddie,
Sorry for the late reply. Yes TrainController does allow for various forms of manual and automatic control of trains on a path (or schedule) from A to B. If you are running it manually, it can be quite scary as the driver has to obey the signals.If you run a manual train on a schedule through a red signal, you are likely to cause a crash - Just like the real thing! Its documented in the TC manual.
