If I had touched another's personal property when I was a child, it was an automatic trip to the Loo to have my ass tanned. I was taught not to touch anything that didn't belong to me, without permission. That included the grocery and department store shopping trips, relatives' houses, etc. In my experience, parents don't teach that any longer, nor are they disciplined when they do muck up someone's property with their grubby hands.

I forgot to mention the same thing occurs with the 'Modeling musings & miscellany' forum. That one won't open either on the computer, phone, or tablet with any browser. "This community is temporarily unavailable. Please wait a few minutes and try again." Is the message received after it times out. I have no idea what is causing this on only two forums on this site. I've never had this happen on any forum site unless it was a restricted area.

I just downloaded and installed Duck Duck Go, and it still will not load. Other forums work fine, but even with a brand new, not previously installed browser, it will not open Wheeltappers. This is occuring on all browsers. This is a real head scratcher.

I have cleared all cookies, checked for an updated version of the browser (but it does this automatically), and restarted the system. This isn't just on this computer, it occurs on my three main computers in use throughout the house, and my tablet, and phone.

Well, at least I know it's not on my end.

Yes, if I let the page alone long enough I get the same message, but without the 'previously accessed' message. I get, 'Try again in a few minutes'.

Anyone else having trouble with this forum?

I haven't been able to access the Wheeltappers forum for weeks now. Is that a restricted area? I am able to see and read all of the posts when a thread appears in the View New Content page, but I have no direct access to that forum to see or reply to any of the topics.

Fantastic work and a wonderful layout. I really enjoyed the video. What background is that and do you know the part number? I would like to order that as an addition to my layout.

No one in a vehicle on the bridge or the maintenance workers would have ever heard the Mayday call...unless they happened to be monitoring the harbor frequencies on a scanner or receiver.

You can download the Lokprogrammer software at ESU. You do not need a Lokprogrammer to do this. After the download and installation, search the ESU library for the file that is loaded to your decoder and download it and open it. There you can see what the programming is and make any changes needed to get your lights working in forward mode. Under the 'Tools' tab, select 'See CVs Changed', you can see a summary of CV changes that were made and use that list to make the CV changes with your controller. This is all a lot easier with a Lokprogrammer, and I've done it myself before buying one, but it is possible without one.

Depth is 50' at the bridge location.
