I got the darn ds64's figured out finallyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy . Here's how it had to be hooked up with a seperate power supply although it could also be connected right to the track power.
The ds64's each putting out 4 addresses ( 4 addresses = 4 tortoise switches) also needed an individual board address ( this took some reading) There are 11 ds64's with starting address of 1 and last ds64 has address 44 .
And the most recent achievements .
I got the right side yard\siding all installed . I have just 2 tortoise's left to install.
Its messy but I didn't want anyone thinking I took the summer off. I know it doesn't look like much but I haven't got a lot of spare time and I wanted everything lining up perfect.
Here's a bit of an update to what I've been upto I also included a few pics of items madmike threw in when I purchased a bunch of his diaramas and other scratch builds
here's one of a few real nice water towers
Over all 2 diaramas in place
no diarama here just couple steamers with odds and ends in the background of scratch builts
the rail has to be put in place for these guys to get to work ( turnout is already in place)
I cut the benchwork for the river and I will complete a couple more bridges
My son and I had a few minutes so we tried to envision the new mountain \tunnel The mine will be propped in front and I will be using bragdon molds for the rocks
Another of the watertowers and thinking the Tannery may have found a new home
Rail to the chemical factory
From the chemical factory
Barnstead equipment
Another angle
Another water tower
Duffy's got rail
Stuffy's brwery waiting for its rail
Another of mikes creations
