А я такой самый нашёл и отремонтирявал через пол года продал. Ещё и заработал на нём. А ты только ломаешь мозгов не хвтило вот и не можеш отремонтирываь. Ты просто не хотел вникнуть а проще показать как разбить ума много не надо. И ни чего хорошего в этом нету. Ломать не строить.

Really useful. Thank you.

What an excellent presentation. I’ve tried in the past to find where old images of Consett were taken, so I know how much has changed and what a difficult task matching these images must have been. Normally, I dislike “slideshows set to music” on UA-cam, as they don’t add any value over looking at the images on a photo sharing website, but this video really does show what can be achieved. Bravo!

Amazing and heartbreaking.

Brilliantly done!

Great to see before and sadly now

Great video. Quite nostalgic looking back to the days when we made steel here instead of importing it. I have a couple of photos looking across to Consett Steelworks taken in the late 1960's which remind me of the days when you could not miss seeing it from miles away on the main road going north. There was always a brown cloud on the horizon telling you where Consett was! The air may be a bit cleaner now but I wonder if the benefits outweigh the loss of jobs and our seeming inability to produce anything anymore..... Sad to see what we lost, but hopefully we will eventually live better lives without the pollution. Thanks for the memories!

Amazing photos. It's as if they have made a determined effort to erase the railway and steelworks from the landscape.

Great now and then photos! Back in the day I remember that most older people called it Consett Ironworks, probably because originally it was owned by the Consett Iron Company. At 4:10 the sign just says Consett Works! (not anymore it doesn't, sadly.)

Wonderfully nostalgic. Thank you

Thank you - great video of before and after. 👍

Superb

I worked at Consett Station when TOPS was introduced [1976?] Even went to Blackhill with the pilot to shunt the coal yard. -through the tunnel! Great photos past and present.

Thank you what a lovely old Railway, so sad it was closed as a Species we certainly know how to bugger things up.

Its a useful video but would be better if you had fixed the camera in position ie no shaking. An easy way to remember motor wiring is Red & Black - to the Track. Orange and Grey go the other way (Motor)

Great videos just one question. With the reed switvh you say you do not need a 5v supply so are you switching the 0v

Remarkable work. Very sad too....

wow. Having moved to Consett 14 years ago I realised the history the way people talk. But seeing this in pictures is amazing. Thank you

Many thanks for your very thorough and informative explanation which provides such a nice and clear overview of the lighting principles. Very helpful! Just wondering if you'd ever tried to add any sound decoders along with lights?

Every train set needs a kitten kong🙄👍👍

Hello Paul, Where did you find "Flickering" LED's? I have been searching through the internet and cannot find any that do not come without a circuit. I would like to find Nano/Pico or 1.6mm.

Those original photos are just brilliant, and to show them against how the town looks now - with the evidence of the steelworks and railway network removed from the landscape - is a beautiful tribute to the original photography. Very apt music indeed. Top work.

Superb, thank you.

A fine piece of film, put together with professionalism and sensitivity. Thank you.

The old Polegate station is no more it's been demolished and is now housing.

Brilliant choice of music. I can remember those stations. Had Beeching not cut all that back we could now have a really useful transport system connecting Weymouth to Portland with useful stops along the way, and take so many cars off our roads. Oh, well….

Fantastic. Well done

A lovely piece of work! Exemplifying the fact that 'Good goes to bad' (that's the Second Law of Thermodynamics). So, work for good. The Common Good! Le bien Commune!

Thanks for re-kindling my memory. My grandparents lived at 1 Taylor's Terrace, The Grove and we have their original tenancy agreement from when the house was new. That house still exists, in much extended and modernised form. My grandfather was a coil winder in the electrical dept and one of his sons joined the same department straight from school. I was at boarding school in Hexham in the 60s and regularly caught the bus at weekends, alighting at the bus station then having to walk right through the works, under the bridge and to their house. The only source of heat was a single fire with back boiler for water, coal was free since one of my uncles worked for the Coal Board. In the winter of 62/63, ice formed on the inside of the metal casement windows. These windows were very noisy, rattling as the fully laden trucks crawled up from Castleside with a very distinctive engine note. They were powered by a Commer "Knocker" engine, a peculiar design of 2 stroke diesel, details can be found on UA-cam. At some point in the 70s, the old slag heaps opposite the house were being removed and shipped to the Netherlands for land reclamation. I recall Saturday evenings when the paper boy would come round with "The Pink" containing all the football results and the local "Pop Man" delivering crates of Fentiman's, which is still available today. The uncle who worked for the Coal Board was a very successful rally navigator, competing on the Monte Carlo Rally twice, many RAC Rallies and I'm fortunate to have all his trophies and old rally plates. His driver was Geoff Cook, who was one son of Siddle C Cook, a major haulage company of the time, they branched into caravans under the name Elddis and Eldiss Transport still exists today. Whether any of the Cook family are still associated with that company, I can't say but I'm sure a search would reveal that info. If anyone remembers the family name of my mother which is Bowes, I'd be delighted to hear from you, please post a comment. The only relatives we've found are the children of one of my mother's cousins, their family name is Laykin (my maternal grandmother's maiden name) one of whom lives in Stanley, the other living in Turkey and we're in regu;lar contact with them both. Apologies for rambling on, but as I write one fact, others pop into my head........... Thanks again.

I managed to follow you guide and adapted it slightly to use a Nano. It works perfectly after I ironed out a faulty sensor. Thanks for posting the series of videos. I just need to incorporate it into my layout now :-)

Wow, sad, beautifully executed dissolves, I take my hat off to you.

I remember trains with 4 wheel wagons, each with two large blocks of Portland Stone. I also remember Portland Navy Days, with 4-wheel tank engines giving rides in a wagon inside the dockyard.

I love the effect of the 3 coloured LEDs. I may try this on my Hogwarts Express. The only bit that makes me nervous is soldering to the decoder socket. But I have an HM7000 8 pin decoder fitted, so could use the purple 9th cable and then just need to solder to blue common. I also think the decoder may have a built in flicker function, so perhaps normal LEDs could be used. Brilliant guide. Thanks. Gary B

You are really great !! Hatts off

Excellent Teacher

I actually rode on the (steam) train from Tunbridge wells down this line to Eastbourne in the 1962/1963 winter (worst winter of the century) when the roads were all closed and the only way to get through was the railway. Which incredibly was still running!

Hi Paul it is Keith again I have great news mega 2560 pro mIco it is small version of the mega 2560 I have now got 16 signals working the mega 2560 pro it is very easy use may be give it try it is amazing the progame it is very Good to use I thought to let you no if you want progame let me no. Thanks Kerith

Wonderful work, sir.

Hi Paul I would like you to know your Program help me with my signals I used your program and I added 13 signals to it with a mega 2560 to it Thanks

BIG HINT !!!! Install the reed switch vertically. Only requires one vertical vertical hole. Yes it does work.

Should the resistor in the group of 3 not be on the cathode-negative side at 5:51?

Brilliant, brings back great memories.👍

Thanks for the tip on the reeds switches they work great I glued a couple of magnets on my g train engine and it works fantastic thanks again😂

Fantastic collection, it brings back a lot of memories. I remember the bridge at the top of the Grove very well. My friend Gorden and I spent a lot of time there as kids watching the trains rumble beneath. I haven't lived in Consett now for many years but last time I was there in 2019, it had changed so much. But, just a few months back, I drove a good friend up to Rotheram to visit his family, and got chatting with his mom. She asked where I was from and I said a small town in the North East that once has a steel works. Shes smiled and said 'Consett"! It suprsed me that she new where it was, but she explained she had worked for a company that supplied tooling and equipment to BS and so she had been to Consett many times.

Superb Video Well Done..

May Those Who Were Killed In The Accident Rest In Peace.

Incredible piece of work I’m speechless, almost like grief though I never new the place. Uplifting towards the end. Thanks for a smashing film. Darren.

Superb video really brilliant but so sad what a great country we were with all we produced. Thank you so much

That was amazing - I was born in blackhill in 79 so never remembered it in action. I've see loads of photos and can remember parts of the demolition. I used to live near Bessemer St and remember them filling in the bridges and planting the trees - unfortunately those trees look well big which now makes me feel old - would love to see more.

Many thanks Paul. Best explanation I've seen. Excellent video. I have been puzzling over this for a long time. I have stalled trying to fit directional lighting to my DCC conversions. You have made it so much clearer. Excellent.
