thawkins57 Posted July 25, 2012 Report Share Posted July 25, 2012 After cutting all the parts, then having to store them in a box for 6 weeks while I moved twice, I've finally finished my Train Depot Clock. 157 parts plus the movement, sound and electronics, and I'm done... Thanks to Dirk for excellent plans, diagrams and instructions - it was a pleasure to build. Here's a link to a low-quality 1 minute video of the clock in action http://s774.photobucket.com/albums/yy27/nadkaw1957/?action=view¤t=Depotclock1.mp4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thawkins57 Posted July 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2012 Thank you all for your kind words. @jblood - the instructions recommended that you leave the patterns attached (which are numbered) until assembly, which I did. It made it easy to find what you were looking for. @spirithorse - yes, it does chime hourly, and there are a number of different sounds that rotate (I don't know how many) so you get a different sound each hour. @amazingkevin - I bet you could drill a hole in the top of each of the stacks and drop in a pellet of dry ice for some smoke effect... LOL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
