Introduce Yourself

Hallo everyone. I became a member some time before the crash but when I tried to sign in again I found I couldn't get back in so decided the easiest way was to rejoin.

My former Username was TonyW but I'm happy to continue with awinn6.

I have had my three LS locos for several years now. I bought them just after Hornby stopped production and they were being offered on line at more affordable prices.

My first loco was the Silver Link which I bought to haul my scratch built Silver Jubilee set which I had built about 20 years earlier. I was so impressed with it that I went on to buy The Flying Scotsman as well. I had only one controller at the time (bought at the same time as Silver Link) but when a friend at the local club decided he no longer wanted his Mallard set It with controller I leaped at the chance and acquired my third loco and second controller.

Since then I have done quite a bit of maintenance and repair work (particularly on Silver Link which burnt out its loco/tender plug-socket, damaging the printed circuit board) so have gained a fair bit of experience which I would be happy to share (including the circuit diagram of the loco PCB).
