Excellent - I seem to remember that one of those lights was to indicate whether the dynamic brake was operative.

Good work!

Excellent - presumably you should be able to programme text to appear.

Absolutely - I found this online https://forum.arduino.cc/t/led-matrix-online-editor/334746 - it may be of some use to you.

It would be interesting to see if you could get the internal PIS dot matrix to display messages - whether that be calling patterns or perhaps custom messages (I did see someone online had programmed an old 465 display for custom messages).

If and when you acquire the EPROMs, do you know how to retrieve the data? You might also need to use a virtual machine to view the data - the files could be in a format not supported on modern systems.

An interesting video showing the PIS system on the underground 1986 prototype stock - these I believe were built by BREL, so perhaps use an earlier version of the JASMIN system used in the networkers.

The platforms were extended with generic assets (all the same red brick), but with quite a few inaccuracies - for example monitors in the wrong place, missing car stop markers, incorrect footbridges etc.

When you consider that this pack contains both the signal enhancements (16.99) and track enhancements (11.99) along with quite a few new assets, ambient sounds and scenarios - it seems like quite good value to me - especially when compared to the recent 745 release from ATS. I’d personally like...

Quite possibly - it would be interesting if Hornsey or Ilford still have any of these devices.

It definitely looks like ”fillgun” to me - there is an “!” above the second “l” which makes it look a bit like an “i”. Notice the difference in height between the “i” and “l”:-

Did you have any luck repairing the damaged traces? Some other things to look for may be corrosion/dirt on the metal contacts with the chips. Also, I noticed the error message mentioned a “fillgun” - I managed to find this:https://www.cryptomuseum.com/crypto/marconi/scimitar/fill.htm Perhaps...

Looks like corrosion - perhaps the controller was left outside or somewhere damp.

Good work! Presumably the route modifiers also contain the stopping pattern information - stopper/semi fast/express. I would guess that this information was then transmitted to the EPROMs in the announcement panel. My understanding was that the announcements were programmed to the number of...

No worries. Also spotted on ebay a photograph of the Networker Express test train - it has a slightly different version of the internal PIS unit. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/395376990409 That's a good idea - it would be very annoying to forget something that took ages to find! I wonder if it...

Did you find any more destinations? Also, are there any updates regarding the EPROMs for the announcements?

The Guildford logo reminds me a bit of the Gatwick one.

Interesting - do you have a photo?

How many codes have you tried? Perhaps try higher numbers e.g. 501, 502, 801, 802 etc. If the unit was in use in 2013, it will have been used certainly by FCC. My only other idea is that for some reason the software has been reverted to its original state for some reason.

Perhaps this particular controller came from 365502 which was loaned from Connex to WAGN back in 2002 - before the rest came about a year later. The Great Northern destinations may have just been added on top (perhaps with different codes). Here's a photo:-...
