Hello everyone,

In this video my ongoing turntable project(s) take a massive step forward thanks to the generosity of a very clever and generous viewer. Ade has designed a fully programmable system for Bexhill West which can operate multiple turntables all of which which connect via the systems' built-in WIFI network.
There's more work to do on my side of things now the system has been proven, but my experiments (some of which are in the video) have reassured me that a stepper drive is the way to go.
I am immensely grateful to Ade for being so generous with his time and skills. Ade is a really interesting gent, with skills which go far beyond electronics and programming. He has a YouTube channel, my favourite video of which is his Lister CS6/1 stationary engine start-up.
Check it out here:    • Lister CS6/1 Start-o-matic  

At the time of publishing this video has 12 likes, pop over, and give it a like.
Maybe we can collectively convince him to join me on the channel here to describe how his amazing turntable system works. :)



I'm sorry that the video is a bit long-winded. I've struggled to find the time to film it, and if I wait for the opportunity to edit it down it'll never get published. :)

I've been busy videoing lots of other modelling projects recently too and am keen to get them uploaded as soon as possible.

One other thing, a date for your diary...

September 23th & 24th will see Scaleforum return for 2023.
Scaleforum is one of the premier finescale railway modelling shows, and the selection of layouts this year will certainly make it an inspirational day-out.
The venue will be The Cressex Community School, High Wycombe. I'll be there again this year as a demonstrator. If you are able to join us do please pop over to see me and say Hi.

I'll do a little preview video in a week or so, until then, head-over to www.scalefour.org for more details.

Thanks for watching,

James
