Fire up the Songbird Penny.
Mine has the current "glass cockpit" style as opposed to the steam gauges.
How's that Lew?
Well, I am stuck with some of the panels, as I have a centralized Norggren valve control center. Moving all the valves to a centralized location. That way, I can monitor the pressure in and out of each valve, have a remote lubricator for each valve, with an automatic sensor both in and out of every value with a manual override.
Saves me from having to get between the drive axle tires and all the icky stuff.
Trying to keep it simple.
We're running into a gating problem with the centralized Norggren valves. The plan here is to have an automatic switching system if the auto self-lubrication system fails and the manual override doesn't kick in over the road.
I am proposing a check-valve but my designer didn't like the idea. He was interested in developing a TCIPC interface with a circuit.
Still under development.
New idea from the tech:
Here's the approach. We are now moving toward an air-demand system which randomly selects centralized valves, depending upon need with a switching assembly directing I/O. In that way, it is likely that fewer valves will be required and will simplify the design. We are thinking about different logic sequences and running a virtual CAD program to calculate dependencies and redundancy. Will keep you updated.
