N scale layout update, scenery, Daylight couplers and controller issues. Lots of railfanning too. 

Hi everyone, thanks for your suggestions with the throttle. I did dig out and old PC laptop and managed to fumble my way through performing a firmware update. It seems to have settled a few of the problems I was having but the throttle dial is still playing up. The right dial is worse than the left. If these an are a replaceable item I may look into that or I will take it back for replacement. I hope I wasn’t too dramatic describing my frustrations but I’m sure you understand how annoying these things can be.

Hello David! The scenery looks great, and things are running smoothly!!! Keep up the great work!!! Also, I caught a glimpse of Bertie!!!

Well here I am all caught up.

Love the layout ❤scenery is superb

Looks great, the lake could be the Blue Lake at Mt Gambier, a dormant volcano I think.

Nice update you are always an inspiration for the rest of us

Hi David , looks like you have been busy. I do like the lake it looks like it has deep water and shallow water. The area around the lake is very good rail fanning. I liked the different types of trains you were running. Thanks for the update. Have a good week. 😎😎 👍

I really like the lake. Thanks for the tour!

The lake and the new LED's look fantastic!

Thanks for sharing. Call the extension Crater Lake. Check your battery in your throttle. Might be your issues. Or taking the battery out. Then put it back in. Just a thought. That is what I did.

Running fine. Looks great.

Your layout is looking fantastic. Lake looks very nice. I thought long and hard about running a DCC on my HO layout but I hear so many horror stories so I stuck with the old DC. (And it’s a lot cheaper).

Call the extension "the island". Sounds exciting as it does have a lake! Great video

Nice job on the lake. I'd mix up a small amount of clear resin, with a little light blue added, to cover the paint, help to give it that translucent effect.

I have not used a Digitrax throttles in a few years. I use JMRI for my programming and engine driver on my phone to run trains. Its a great set up. have a look at it. It alot cheaper than having 2 or 3 digitrax throttles just need the computer interface and old laptop or desk top mine is 15 years old and works great still.

VERY NICE WORK TOM IN THE USA

I was debating whether to get a Digitrax or NCE system next month. But after watching this, I may go the NCE route. The newer controllers do look like nice tho, but they seem to have quality control issues.

I love the crater or mining lake. If it was me. Id put a small telling ramp that would give access a small curved landing that would creat a small cove. That would break up the perfect circular nature. But awesome work.

Maybe the battery level is part of the problem? Looks like it's below 50% at about

Perhaps a TCS Wi-Fi throttle would be a good answer for your problems
