- | Chris Barker (M4638) has arranged with the Southampton Model Railway Society (SMRS) for MERG members to be able to meet at their clubroom. | ||
- | Meeting Venue: Unit 1b, Kemps Quay, Quayside Road, Southampton, | ||
- | |||
- | Evening meetings take place on the 2nd Thursday of each month.\\ | ||
- | Workshop days normally take place on the 3rd Saturday of each month, unless we are representing MERG at an exhibition.\\ | ||
- | |||
- | The club room is well equipped with several work benches, an open area with a 50" screen that can be used for presentations and discussions, | ||
- | It is situated on the first floor of an industrial unit. Access is by stairs but unfortunately there is no lift.\\ | ||
- | \\ | ||
- | The meetings are flexible: You can build, test and fault find your electronic modules. | ||
- | |||
- | We are assisting in rebuilding one of the Southampton MRS exhibition layouts to enhance its operational capabilities and possibly add some animations.\\ | ||
- | The layout is being controlled by MERG CBUS and DCC modules. | ||
- | |||
- | We just missed the Southampton show, despite an extra session working on the control system. The scenic section is a complicated layout with three interconnected reversing loops using DCC unfriendly points, so accurate timing and sequencing is required to avoid shorts.\\ | ||
