THE NEXT WARNING! Scaletrains GEVO Tier 4

[Schraddel]

Hello,

and some updates:


This is the space intended for the very special speaker.





To get rid of the limits set by Scaletrains and ESU, you have to grasp for coarse actions.





And further goes the hacksaw.
The fine alignments were done by the bench grinder 8-)





Drilling new bores for the new motherboard. The no longer needed embossements for the ESU motherboard were eliminated. This was done simply by pushing them easy onto the rotating grinding wheel of the bench grinder seen on the right side of the photo. And off they go.





Then the new bores were tapped.





So it looks alike now.





New distance tubes were cut out of a suitable plastic tube.





Now a professional mounting of the new decoder can be done. Enabled by eliminating Scaletrains and ESU works standards.

This also shows the dangers and hassles generated by individual "Works Standards". Here in Germany the non-standard is the rule and you have to pay a lot of attention what will fit together and what do not. A strongly welcome into the world of arcaic German "Works-Standards".
My advise: Do not give up NMRA Standards!
