The soldering is well explained, and you are dead right about lead Free ( Higher temperatures and not as strong), I teach electronics and explain this to all new students. The wire stripping and tinning is also perfect, flux really helps the solder flow smoothly.

Awesome video as usual Dawn Best Regards Andrew

Very useful for me, especially the shuttle controller part. I will be honest I don't much like soldering, but it's a necessary in our hobby. When I say, you should definitely think about teaching techniques and tips for modellers, because I genuinely mean it, you are so good at it. You have really given me renewed gusto, to make a serious start on my layout. I have money on you completing LK on schedule! Keep up your absolutely amazing work on this channel and for the hobby as a whole. To the 1st lady of model Railways, the title I've bestowed upon you, thank you for making the hobby so enjoyable again. See you Wednesday at 1930!

That's so helpful, especially the shuttle controllers. I had no idea such affordable and relatively user friendly things existed ... I foresee a future project of a loco on a shelf running around 3/4s of my office ☺️

[mauracurran]

Absolutely brilliant video Dawn, your explanations and instructions on how to do wiring are excellent, thank you, 👏👏👏

[davidbarnes]

Hi Dawn, I've just watched your update on Lady killers ( wonderful old film) and I found it very interesting. You may remember I messaged you about my layout, built as it would have been in the 1950s, is coming on. The baseboards are nearly finished. Looking forward to seeing more of your project soon. Kind regards Dave. From Southend on Sea.

A first-rate presentation on a subject that many modellers (regardless of gender) don't enjoy doing! My early experiences with that great British invention (the white metal kit) was my baptism of fire! The older Hammant and Morgan transformers (like your Safety Minor) are still amongst the best ever made. My layout is still powered by an H & M Duette. Looking forward to the next episode in the saga!😊

[railwaymaniacs]

Excellent tutorial, I can't wait to start working with models again when I have time away from the real things.

[stratmanrocker]

Thanks Dawn a very informative tutorial. It has spired me to build a new layout to try out some of the Block Signalling accessories. It struck me that whilst I use DCC mainly, the shuttle line would allow me to add an old unused DC loco to the layout!

[terrynutlob]

Very informative as always Dawn great video with your usual pace and professional presentation. I do think Klaus Nomi may contact you as at 15.40 in you have stolen his white gloves trademark 😅😅😅

Clear, concise, to the point, no dissimulations or flummery.
Just what `we` now expect of your comprehensive instructional video's guides.
Okay one can always comment as to improving this that or the other, but I will not be so presumptuous nor rude.
My only bit of advice (please) would be to possibly replace your soldering iron with a variable temperature version, which cost little more.
Reason being, more for tip life, in addition clean the tip before returning it to its holder and or switching it off at the end of a session.
As to your use of or term solder paste, which is totally incorrect for reference to the` flux`.
As solder paste is a paste consisting of powdered solder suspended in a flux type medium, usually of the corrosive type and not at all recommended or suitable for soldering electrical components or joints.
Take care.

Hi there great video very informative where did you get the cable with multiple ends from could do with one . Thank you

[ivoryjohnson]

You got a new sub look forward to your posts

[westwonic]

Surely soldering wires to the end of that track piece will prevent joining the next piece of track? Better to solder the wires to the middle.

[davecharles]

Good video but always wear eye shields when soldering as it can splatter.

[DavidCohen-pm]

You shouldn't apply solder to the soldering iron. Make sure the bit, and components, are tinned but apply the solder directly to what you are joining.
