An interlaced double crossover maybe? I'd love a go at building that. Regards Lez. It is an off centred scissors crossover. Fascinating.

RMweb Gold Popular Post Rowsley17D Posted April 7, 2021 Author RMweb Gold Popular Post Share Posted April 7, 2021 I been playing trains operating my layout the last few days as of Monday I am in the care of the NHS for surgery, so I may be unable to do much in the railway room in the coming weeks. I've a nice new tablet so I can keep in touch with RMWeb while in hospital. In the meantime here is 1P power at Derwent. And for those with colour. 15 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

See if you can pinch some locking forceps while you're in there, very handy for soldering. Failing that, industrial alcohol (pre paint cleaning / old loco grease removal) scalpel blades, razor saw, etc etc... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrkirtley800 Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 In addition to Mr Wolfs shopping list, how about some lights on a head band. Derek Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrWolf Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 Their Anglepoise magnifying lamps are much better than the hobby type. Dental ones are great but due to their size tricky to smuggle out unless you have a diversion. A plumber's smoke bomb chucked in a cupboard is enough... 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Rowsley17D Posted April 13, 2021 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted April 13, 2021 Through the op now and making good progress according to the medics although they say discomfort could increase tomorrow.

Hope you don’t mind this, given your calling... There’s bit of jostling going on in the queue outside the Pearly Gates, and St. Peter (not known for his patience) tells everyone to calm down and wait their turn as time is pretty immaterial when you are living for eternity. A bit later, more brouhaha breaks out and people start complaining about “some old guy with a beard and a Gladstone bag” walking straight past everyone and seemingly jumping the queue. ”Oh, Him?” Says St. Peter, “That’s just God. We let out occasionally to play doctor.” 1 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
