    No problem. I am fortunate in a way, in that my son assisted me in designing the Arduino / MERG side of things. There is a brief video on MERG showing my Moretonhampstead Signal Interlocking System. I would imagine there was still a learning curve to Buckingham's control system, but no doubt, it gives you great satisfaction in keeping Buckingham running.

    The good thing about Model Railways is that there are so many fascinating aspects to it. I like to combine my interests in Electrical /Electronics and Computing with my Model Railways. At the same time, I can understand your pragmatic approach to Model Railway Electrics.

    (D)6967 was re-numbered 37267 in 05/74 so, yes, the running number on 29/03/74 would have been 6967.

    There's a few posts here https://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/32908-foreign-locos-overhauled-at-eastleigh-in-the-1960s/#

    When I first saw this photograph I thought that looks a bit strange for the "Up Fast" and then saw your caption mention 'Loops'! Great photographs taken during my teenage Spotting days.

    Chris, take a look at your post on the previous page.

    I did and found the Ring Main Wires had been twisted together and covered with insulation tape!

    It looks more like unlined black to me.

    The following from www.wnxx.com 37424 carries the identity 37558, the number applied to accompany its name 'Avro Vulcan XH558'. The name and number were unveiled to the public at the Crewe Gresty Bridge open day in 23 July 2016, after which 37424 was returned to Derby to be readied for its return to service.

    Although the journey time Bletchley to Bedford is currently around 40 Minutes, they are proposing to add a Loop so that the faster EWR Service can overtake the stopper! What's going to happen if one or the other is late?

    Not to mention moving the station halfway to Bow Brickhill!

    Maybe worth taking a look at Fabrice’s Arduino Based Interlocking here:- https://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/82978-arduino-applications-and-programs/&do=findComment&comment=2283863

    On the LMR when Bletchley Power Box Opened in1965 the 4 Aspect Signals were, reading from the bottom, Red, Yellow, green, Yellow.

    My apologies.

    Hi Phil, Just an observation; wouldn't the SB be better situated at the other end of the loop where there is slightly more signalling activity?

    Ray, I have adapted Fabrice’s Signal Box and Tokenless Block Instrument Code for my Moretonhampstead Layout. I use an Arduino Mega connected to MERG CBUS via a MCP2515 CAN BUS Module and use MERG CANMIO-SVO’s to Drive the Servos. The Lever Switches are connected to the Arduino’s Inputs and the Servos are controlled by sending on/off messages to the CBUS. The whole Signal Box Module can be unplugged by using a 4 PIN XLR Plug / Socket.

    She was not one of the Streamlined variant but did carry the BR Green Livery.

    I've had two cars (both 2nd user) with "Self Park"; I've used the mode twice with the 1st car and Zero Times with the latest car. Providing you are gentle on the throttle and keep a good look out you should be ok. If you have forward and / or reversing cameras that's an added bonus.

    Take a look at HF Florescent Fittings. Benefits of High Frequency Fittings. Flicker free and silent operation. ‘Instant’ starting. Detects failed lamps, no more flashing on and off. Cold starting in sub-zero temperature. No stroboscopic effects. 20-30% saving in running costs.
  23. Pannier Tank
    Wouldn't that require a reversal at Bletchley?
  24. Pannier Tank
    That looks like one of Bletchley's AM10's to the right.

    There may still be hope. Today I took the tip of a screwdriver and prised the axles upwards. The front one with the gears was a bit difficult but it came off eventually, seemingly without damage. Thank you for the update; your findings are encouraging.
