Two things worry me here, what is wrong with playing with youngest grandsons Brio train set when he is not around? Secondly my doctor who is much younger than I but has been my "Doc" for nearly twenty years always greets me with "Good to see you alive Mr. Little" good job he has a sense of humour, I think!!

They were....

I was one of them for seven years, even in the early seventies it was reasonable money.... for its time 🙀

Bye the way congratulations on the 10 years of this thread Tony, during lockdown an absolutely essential piece of daily life. Regards Peter

I vaguely remember a text explaining that any brake that was "wrong way round" would have its compartments next to the locomotive closed off to passengers in the 1930's. I am off to see if I can find it amongst the reading in my bookshelves. Regards Peter

That is superb Tom, ridiculously good. Regards Peter

Hi Tony, are those buttresses still at the end of your garden or have they been removed? Regards Peter

Mallard at speed is a lovely image Tony.

Good morning Tony. I would think having met you several times that your skills as a builder are of far more use than another layout. In the short time we have met at shows you have fixed / attended to many failed locomotives, you have built wagons, kindly let me suggest and interject on electrical faults with items, but most of all your introduction of children to the hobby and construction of items is second to none and a very valuable asset for any exhibition to have. Regards

So am I.....

To everyone on here, although I am not getting any modelling done at present please keep safe and well. The standard on here is exceptional. Regards Peter

Apologies did not pick up on the earlier description mentioning you are using IN5401 1844 diodes. Can I ask are you switching Point D in a sequence and if so how many Points are operated before Point D is operated? What happens if the other points are disconnected and you operate Point D on its own? None of the diodes you would suspect have failed they are simply a one way current blocking device therefore you would assume there has to be something with Point D that the CDU cannot cope with. Out of interest have you disconnected everything including the CDU, removed all power sources and tested the diodes on the board to ensure there is no leakage across them your multimeter will do this with either it set to diode or resistance? As above I apologise if I am repeating things you have tried or give the expression of teaching to suck eggs. Regards Peter

I have posted this on the relevant thread as well, apologies for the duplication Tony. Good morning all Sorry to interrupt this conversation but which model of diode are you using as this is showing all the symptoms of a low level of power. I can explain more if required. Regards Peter

Good evening Tony, the two track scenic section of this layout is superb, for something in theory so simple this really does capture the era. Regards Peter

That must have been a record though, 19 hours! oh apart from the forum actually being down. Regards and thanks.

Hello ? no post in 19hours !!!!! My iMac must be broke. Regards Peter.

Now they are what you call cavity walls! Was that a standard thickness on that part of the network? Regards Peter

I was about to type something very similar but was trying too hard to simplify, but totally agree although as stated a standing wave is unlikely and even if it started to show signs of happening there is a chance it will unravel due to the two nodes and two antinodes using the outer body of the containment will shift enough to get back to a standard sinusoidal pattern Apologies if I have got this wrong its been a few years since I worked on this. Regards

Thanks for the clarity, I hope 2020 treats you all in a better fashion, and keep your spirits up. Regards Peter

Hi Tony, hope you and Mo have a fulfilling 2020 and catch up soon. Regards Peter

Good news, have a better year in 2020 and always believe in good things and be positive. Peter

I am assuming the armed forces are involved as well?

More to do with the CAW TIS ZONE don't do it !!!!! Myself and many of my serious sport colleagues (I wuz on the telly a few times guv) have ended up far worse cause of that. Ones in a wheelchair cuz of it, my consultant calls it the devil's serum ??? Apologies if I killed the mood slightly. Regards Peter

Good afternoon Tom What a inspiration CWM Prysor has been to me, enough of a thought provoking layout that I am hoping to model Bala Junction in the 1950's with license to drop back to the 1930's. Thank you as I have been struggling to find somewhere with enough operational content but of an unusual nature (Bala Junction had no road access it was purely an interchange). Regards Peter
