Paddle Steamer Waverley

Evidently the order was placed in July for Waverley's new boilers and after an extensive design phase, both boilers are being built by Cochrans in Annan. Also, three new electric have been built, tested and ready for despatch. Looks very much as if we will see Waverley back in operation during the summer of 2020. Nerys

Some of the circuits I built on veroboard board using circuit drawings I found on the net. Steam sound generator is MRW, whistle, single and quad switch are from action. Voltage regulars I built, drive switching circuitry for pump, smoke generator, d/f and Morse lamp. I built also the cycle timers for d/f,Morse lamp and boiler fire lights. So I don’t get too mixed up with all the bits. The engine sound, smoke generator, boiler fire lights and water pump come on when prop runs forward or reverse, the d/f and Morse have each got a cycle timer of different times and run only when prop runs forward. Then the only things I need to switch are the lights on quad switch and single switch for the sound. Motor, rudder, anchor and quad switch are on joysticks so still have a spare channel at the moment. I would like to make my on quad switch and sound but can’t find circuit drawing anywhere.
