  1. Some lovely rolling stock there Neal, Well done 😀 Dave
  2. Some info here https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-68381940 Dave
  3. I use two Powercabs with one configured as a slave. It automatically picks up the macros from the main Powercab. One thing - if you get a short e.g. running through a point set the wrong way you will need to unplug the slave to allow the master to complete its reboot. Dave
  4. On Danemouth the programming track is one of the sidings, I also have a couple of terminals for use for a rolling road or a piece of track. Have a look here In normal operation all three switches shown are on with two turned off for loco programming before selecting the appropriate option on the Powercab. Dave
  5. I remember a box identical to this in Cardiff - junction of Greenway Road and Rhyl Road Rumney in 1950/60s Dave
  6. Castel Danemouth situated in Rhiwbina has had a little drizzle this morning but there is no sign of the large yellow orb 😟 I will have a certain large Pachyderm (a former resident of Rhiwbina) that I do not drink Brains Dark - it has to be Brains Light (Bitter) Actually I only ever drink beer when I go to a pub, at home it is either dry white wine or Penderyn except after Sunday Luch when the odd Port or three may be forced down. Dave
  7. All the above is excellent advice - one other thing to try is to disconnect the the Powercab, remove the back and check the chip is seated properly. One other thing, if you start using locos with the sound chip do not use the Momentum button as it resets some CVs within the chip - see here and here. To prevent this when I had my Powercab open I stuck a small piece of insulating tape across the tracks for that button to prevent accidents. Dave
  8. 2If I remember correctly the address of the main Powercab must be 2 Dave
  9. I can see I shall have to instruct my Seconds to call at Hunt Towers 😁 They will arrive on a Pannier! Dave
  10. This plan is v ery similar to my layout Danemouth Dave
  11. It's a GWR Siphon. Have a look here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GWR_Siphon Incidentally Accurascale have recently introduced a superb 00 model of it in various liveries seen here on Danemouth Dave
  12. Talking of ties I worked on an office for all 48 years of my working life and wore a suit and tie every day. I liked to look smart and as a manager for much of that time it was expected of me. When I retired 11 years ago I thought no more ties - looked in my wardrobe at the over 30 ties - that got thinned down to half a dozen and other than the funerals black tie I can count on one hand the number of times I have worn a tie since retirement 😀 Dave
  13. You didn't mention my favourite - Popeye 😁 Dave
  14. In my case Number 46 from Rumney to West Grove - Fitzalan Technical High School was in Howard Gardens. The year I entered form 5 it moved to Leckwith. Dave
  15. My parents first car, a 1959 Standard10 saloon had the heater as an optional extra. When they purchased it in 1963 it had no heater but after the first winter one was fitted - luckily my mother ran the accounts office of the main dealer so had staff discount! Dave
