Hi, I came across this today, has anyone used one? It's currently available, for 50 Euros from "Elektor"... https://www.elektor.com/products/fnirsi-swm-10-portable-battery-spot-welder?_kx=TaJuNYyXQkl5wB4OiZUNacEOBPespImjCkelUvqCEb8.QQ33pb Regards, Kev.

Abandoned rails in the road.....(or elsewhere...)

I really can't see how a 350 shunter could get to Piccadilly Gardens as there are a few "tight" corners of a radius not much more than the length of the shunter! There was a metro-mainline connection just outside of Manchester Victoria station though... Kev. -
Another source, that needs to be eliminated, is static electricity. Namely the floor and shoes used. Some hotels, I stay in, give me a zap every time I touch my rooms door handle! Kev.

Confessions of a Canton goods guard
SHMD replied to The Johnster's topic in UK Prototype Discussions (not questions!)
You could just write about typical days or workings. You are a great read as you have a real talent for setting the scene and not distracting the reader with trivial/irrelevant data. There was also a lot of useful modelling info in almost every paragraph. Much appreciated and missed. Kev.- 388 replies

Amps will only cause you a problem if... A/ There is enough "volts", behind them, to force the "amps" through you! (A shock.) B/ There are "a lot" of amps, normally in the circuit, and you provide a short(er) circuit for them. (A fire hazard.) C/ There aren't enough amps for what you want them to do! (The thing doesn't work!) Was the layout wiring complete and the LED circuit connected to a PSU (of some sort) but currently switched off? Regards, Kev.

How realistic are your models? Photo challenge.

For your first post, above, I was going to say "nah rubbish - I can't see the menu" but thought better of trying that joke. ..but I'm now glad I didn't because I can see that there was a printed menu! Outstanding. Kev. -

Wow - they really brush up well! My (lonely) one arrived out of the blue yesterday. Really pleased. Kev. -
I found that being 3-0 up is worse ! Kev.

Yes, and all in black and white. I watched it in Melbourne and I was always up early for the start. The programme before it was always two "old blokes" talking the most boring stuff imaginable to a kid - probably politics. "Watch out, watch out - there's a Humphry about! Kev.

I thought the "country code" encourages you to "leave gates how you find them". (...with a very few exceptions of where the gate is obviously in the wrong position.) Kev.
