  1. Not to oneself. Pay attention to the M25 in front not the class 92 on the other carriageway...

  2. Nearly there. the last hour or so of a full day with 6 and 4 year olds and 9 month old twins while mum has a day out.

      I hate doing it but least the frame is safe, Alistair will make good use of the wiring and i got a trinket or two. Another one to do in two weeks time. I can't believe it's two years since closure.

      Not the only redundant signalbox to have received notice of demolition...

      There's a lot of it about. I may be on the GNGE to recover another frame soon too. Installing a groundframe on that line hardly redresses the balance..

      Do you really need to interlock your porch door with your front door?

      Do you have a thread (etc) anywhere showing your signalling work and bits?

      There's a bit more in 'Seasonal Scale change' on here. I've not posted anything to do with the latest ground frame project yet as i'm not totally impressed with progress. Monday should see all the parts in one place for the first time. Hopefully we will get cracking then.

  6. Days off over, mixed feelings about going back to work.

  7. Yay 5 days off.

      and a ground frame to install when i go back.. Not so yay. Last time i did anything like this i was sent a gaggle of blue hatters.

  8. Everything is standard but nothing fits.

      A rather deep philosophical statement, in many ways!

      I'm making key token machines out of a pile of bits. All made by Tyer and Co London, not London and Carlisle so should be about the same age..

  9. The photo's are back. Phew.

  10. Take 279 photo's on a day out on official visits to signalboxes and delete them .. yay i'm good.

      The errant machine and it operator are heading for my brother who does this sort of thing. No eyed deer what he uses but he seems confident he can recover something.

  11. Where's me close up rangefinders? Five key token machines to overhaul.

  12. A perfect day for using the forge. I'm probably a stone lighter.

  13. Van failure. AA called. Towed to garage. NFF. A whole day wasted.

  14. Awake from a night shift. Motivation = zero.

      I know how you feel LNERGE, I had a lovely 04:15 start this morning, then back home, few hours sleep then im awake again. And back to the same for tomorrow. Coupled with this heat, it's like 2 days in one!

      My night amounted to saw the end off a bit of point rodding, punch two holes, bolt it all back together and hand to my colleague to test. Simples. Except now i have the get up and go of a sloth.

  15. Caroline and 37409 keeping busy today.

  16. Another groundframe to play with. A sketch 80 this time.

      Hmm my have to agree to disagree <g>

  17. A day stuck in the orifice and all i want to do is be at home to paint levers..

  18. Another layer of paint before another layer of water arrives?Just checked the rainfall radar. Mother nature is going to win.

      The weather is weird this afternoon - pressure up and down but no rain here - yet !

      Loads of rumbles and i've seen the odd flash. Rain beaten by the chap next door lending his fishing brolly. Expecting Mother Nature's response to be lightning bolt straight down it's shaft.

  19. I merely thought today was a good day to paint levers. Third thunderstorm since midnight approaches...

    1. beast66606

      beast66606

      So it's your fault we have just had a torrential downpour !

    2. LNERGE

      Guess i'm guilty. Painting is the only job left to do on the groundframe i'm making. There was a fairly good show around 04:00 that woke the older kids but not the twins.

      I can`t stand the rain

      Against my window,

  20. Two tappets cut and two bridle irons made up. Two buckets sweated. Iron filings in places iron filings shouldn't be.

  21. Two tappets cut and two bridle irons to make up

  22. Two tappets to cut and two bridle irons to make up.
