New Flood Lights on Cattle Corral and new Milk Platform after Wye
Below are pictures of the new flood lights for the cattle corral, milk platform and Ice Station. I did a check on the load of the small 12v transformer that most of the lights on the main board are on except the Building lights. The smaller transformer was running warm when all lights were on for 30 minutes and I checked both transformer outlet voltage with various lights on and off and determined to lower the load on the smaller transformer. So I move the flood lights from the small transformer to the larger one was loaded much more than the other 12v transformer rated at 40 watts. I have a clip on ammeter but it is for higher amps and would not read changes in the 0 to 4 amp range.
This is a good picture the flood lights with room lights dimmed and of my Operating car train. First is the barrel car with the barrel loader in the back ground, the second car is a the refrigerator car with the Ice station in lower right corner, next is the cattle car and corral, followed by the Milk car and the milk platform and the last car is a gondola which can receive barrels, canisters, atomic canisters from the gantry crane and logs or coal or whatever. You can see working turntable and operating gantry crane in the back ground, three operating accessories in a row on the outside loop and an ice loading station in the foreground.
These light poles were made from Christmas plastic bells and plastic balloon sticks curved with a hot air blower heating gently.
