Hi all,

Long time no hear. After the last post in 2016 the layout is finished and exposed in a few countries and at some shows. One of them was September 2019 in Hochdorf Switzerland. We drove with a van to the exhibition:

Build up on the expo:

The bridges

Extended lenz set

I extended my existing Lenz case this week. What I had:

Left the existing case with LZ100 central, LV101 booster and LI100 interface. That one will be replaced.

Here a test of the new case:

From the old one I removed the interface and some other stuff, and connected the central and booster in a better way than before:

Here the new situation. Now in the new case I have 2 extra LV101 boosters and there power supplies. Further a LA152 adapter which connects the new LI-USB interface to the system through XPressNet. The whole is connected with a special connecting cabel that uses 15 pin Sub-D connectors.

I also have a programming central in the second case. It can be used as-is without interupting the operating central:

Enough to power a bigger layout that the ones I currently own.

Later more!

Greetz, Ronald.
