Danemouth

Momentum Button - Have a look here I knew I had written about it in the past 😁 Cheers, Dave

Look on page 57 of the manual Loco Refresh needs to be set to 0 otherwise when the loco is selected all functions are set off Page 58 shows how to set the recall stack to 6 Also using the momentum button on sound chipped locos can cause problems - there is more info on here somewhere. Finally the option key needs to be remapped to address function numbers above 9 - see page 19 - the value needs to be reset to 122 Cheers, Dave

As part of this scheme my local line from Heath Halt (Low Level) to Coryton is also being electrified. Here are some images taken today From the bridge over Caerphilly Road looking towards TyGlas station Other side of the bridge with Birchgrove station Now the bridge on Pantbach Road looking towards Birchgrove and towards Rhiwbina Station @Happy Hippo will know this area well, it was his boyhood stamping ground - there are no blue plaques commemorating that fact 😄 and signs have appeared on the bridges Cheers, Dave

May I humbly disagree with you - in my opinion there can be no such thing as a plague or pandemic of Panniers, a multitude maybe a plague no! As for the vaccine could the products of inferior railway companies beat the products of the omnipotent GWR? 😃😁😄😬😀 Joking side it's funny how my taste has changed - as a lad it was Kings and Castles for me, however since building Danemouth my favourite loco is the everyday Pannier - Danemouth has five! Cheers, Dave

A Catholic Church where I am sacristan in the capital of the Principality is shared with the Polish community did exactly the same thing this morning Dave

Some lovely rolling stock there Neal, Well done 😀 Dave

I'm so old I remember when this thread was about Whacky Signs😃 Dave

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

My late father was a Prison Officer in 1960/70/80s. Some old lags would be sent to prison for drink related offences. For many their favourite tipple was Meths mixed 50/50 with VP wine 😬 Let's say their clothes usually had to be burned due to the state of their trousers! Dave

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

Compared with you @grandadbob my first car was much simpler. I did not pass my test until 1977 at the age of 29. My Aunt had bought a Mark 1 Escort brand new 6 years previously and driven just over 5,000 miles before a stroke did huge damage to her. That was my first car - I kept it for two years before buying a brand new Allegro - what a mistake !!! Kept it less than 12 months before buying a brand new Cortina Mk V - talk about chalk and cheese 😁 Dave

With all this talk of hearing aids... I used an NHS hearing aid for some years. Last year I needed my ears syringing, the NHS waiting list for this was 4 months so I ended up going to a local shop. Before going I decided to look at private hearing aids as I found the NHS one where the tube needed replacing every six months uncomfortable since the wax could not escape. I ended up with a pair of the latest aids which are very comfortable and have bluetooth. Yes, they were very expensive but as my late mother used to say there are no pockets in shrouds. The one feature they have I did not know about was that they could be paired with my mobile phone. Now when somebody rings me a touch a button on the aid which answers the call and the mics in the aids transmit my voice to the phone. The phone remains in my pocket. I can make calls but need to dial from the phone at which point the ringtones appear in my aids and Bob's your mother's brother. Dave
