I've recently purchased a complete system bundle; Brand New after waiting some 36 years.
I tried to buy the master controller from a model shop in Stoke on Trent back in 1982 but fell just short of the new price of £45:95.
Note; Back up Battery is a 1.2 Volts Mempack & not 1.5 as mentioned in the video.
I will be uploading more videos of my progress as I test & set up this system.
Happy to help any modellers with any questions or a guide to replace the leaking back up battery in the phase 3 console.
Thanks for watching.

I love this DCC system. It was ahead of its time. Sadly its not compatible with the modern day DCC systems but I would like one again for the sake of nostalgia :).

I think the 1979 catalogue picture was slightly different to the production version - the speed controller was cylindrical if I remember ?

Yes that's correct the pre-production version was in the 1979 catalogue but the production unit was different & available from 1980. Thank you for commenting & I hope you enjoyed the video.

Someone who’s actually setting one up. I’m interested.

Hi Steve. Did you have success with the phase 3 getting it working please would love to see it . Thanks

@stevebennett4919 4 года назад

Hi Peter, Thank you for your interest. It just so happens that I am about to start setting up the system to control my points & signals, additionally using the phase 3 Led display panels to display the layout status. I will upload a video to show my progress in the coming weeks.

@@stevebennett4919 I look forward to that. Is there any chance you can point me in the direction of instructions for the phase 3 micromimic system as I have the items but no instructions and no clue and don't want to short anything out . Thanks In advance.

@stevebennett4919 4 года назад

@@PeterAllton Hi Peter, Sure I will look out the instructions for you; leave it with me.

@@stevebennett4919 Hi Steve. I had Zero 1 as a kid when it came out in the early 80's. Long since gone. I now model in O gauge but am planning using it to operate accessories such as points lights and turntable etc. Obviously not via the track. I would have seperate wires just for the accessories. Its a garden railway so less wire the better. Sorry to be a pain but itching to get going so If you get a chance please I'd love copies of any of the phase 3 items instructions. How are you finding control of the locos?

@stevebennett4919 4 года назад

@@PeterAllton Hi Peter, Excellent on the O gauge outdoor railway, I have an O gauge myself built on trestles using decking boards & timber side frames. It had to be portable to get the plans past by the lady of the house. I am away at the moment but upon my return I will look the instructions out for you & email them to you. Sounds a very interesting project your doing. Steve.

what happened to the follow up testing video ?

@stevebennett4919 4 года назад

Sorry for the delay ; It's in the pipeline now but like most projects things got in my way. The good news is I am getting ready to use the phase 2 & 3 to control my points & signals. I will post a testing & follow up in the coming weeks.
