1st August 2021

Having recently attended the Making Tracks event at Chester Cathedral a few weeks ago and firstly got stuck in traffic, secondly, got stuck with my CVs - Bill made a oh so brief but not very impressive appearance - Jack, faired slightly better - see third and fourth clips - and possibly a tiny little boob with the coupling rods on the Bachmann intermodals, a third time lucky mission was sought, and in order to do this, my Skoda CVs needed adjustment and through this process a number of positives have come to light, including getting to see my 90s in double heading manoevres and thus learning that not all the chips are the same or even pair up easily, this leads me to the conclusion that to stick with the majority variety and maybe in time, swap the minority chip for a majority one possibly, but lots of things to do before then.

DB Blue and Malcolm - my favourite pair

So what does this all mean - novice talk !!

Here and now, Bill is carrying the odd DCC-sound chip, that's fine, for the time being, that's how we'll go with it ... it was my thinking that one or two of my 90s may be on individual workings, like charter workings etc etc, that could then work for a 90 like Barbie.

In other news

A new occurence has happened as well with my 90s, previously, it was either a buffer or a horn grill coming off, but tonight one of the light covers has come off - oh well, these things happen ...
