Just tried the Trainwreck Pages link and I get a 404-file not found error message.

I got the same thing on the phone so I'll check the link out tomorrow and repost
Cheers mate, I think it might be caused by the files being moved to a different place and the link wasn't updated.
I read through a few of the 29 pages and then went back to the first page and simply copied and pasted the URL from the browser so I'm not sure what happened.
It could be that it's not mobile optimised which is rarely the case these days or maybe it shares some login information with Wattkins.com
Speaking of Watkins, Watkins Electronic Music was responsible for the Watkins Crybaby Wah pedal and the Watkins Copycat tape echo also the WEM amplifiers used by quite a few English rock groups back in the day.
A guitarist I worked with for a few years used both the Crybaby and Copycat I used a Klempt Echolette and Schaller Wah, the tape echoes were a proper pain because they went through at least one tape loop each night, the loops were relatively expensive so we spliced our own which was tedious and not a job to rush between songs

Just turned the PC on and clicked the link and went straight in, so should be OK

I have my browser set to delete all cookies and empty the cache each time I close it so going straight in is not an artifact of a previous session
A bunch of circuits of the various versions of the Trainwreck Express here

Here is a clip of a genuine Train Wreck amp

The Trainwreck clone from Wattkins.com
Those links worked for me too, managed to download the pdfs from both the links, cheers for that, maybe the server hosting those pdfs must have been experiencing some technical issues last night, I don't know for sure, anyway whatever it was it seems to have been resolved.
Wow, sounds great but the techy bits are way beyond my skill level to even contemplate such a project.

Don't worry, I'm still having trouble understanding some of the techy bits too so you're not alone, it is a bit of a steep learning curve, but the good news is that it does get easier the more you learn.
Hey Doc, I built this AX84 Hi-Octane Tube Guitar Amplifier some years back. It's a great sounding little amp. The wiring was easy but making the chassis etc was really the time consuming part and I had access to a pretty good workshop for the sheet metal etc. We had a laser cutter and made the front and rear decals. note that it does go up to 11.....
I made a cover for the power transformer on a 3D printer as well.
Rear View
If anyone wants to build one I can add more photos on the inside.
