Well my eyes and fingers have a tough time.....
The tram from yesterday is on it's way back to the seller. It is defect. The worrm gear from the motor axis it to high to have a solid connection to the top tooth gear of the truck. The brass gear kills the plastic gear. Anyhow, the commercial seller ships a new one and the old one goes back.
Todays parcel man was a good one. Got the circle (radius is 15cm / 6"), some tiny cars, a second safe and sound trolley and two ZIMO DCC decoders. The decoder is very easy to install and the tiny trolley behaves much better under decoder control. Max speed is 50 out of 255 ( CV5 ) and voltage is set to 10 Volt. Even slow drive is quite ok.
I have to get used to the motor. lack of torque is compensated with revolution speed. No sound decoder required ;-)

The cables in the background steel the DCC signal from the track of the staging yard. The iPod is the Wifi connected hand held throttle. It is more handy than the Digitrax UT1 attached via cable to the other side of the room.
Some more Streetview shots from the City of Bochum forming a block in the center.
