Sithlord75 Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 (edited) For those 2mm Members who aren't on the VAG, but who have read their newsletter and have wondered at the Zoom Area Group that has been organised the details are below. Topic: ZAG Time: Second and Fourth Saturdays of the Month from 0900 GMT Join Zoom Meeting https://us02web.zoom.us/j/83287616944?pwd=WGRnQkprN1IwcitVRm56OThtMUFVUT09 Meeting ID: 832 8761 6944 Passcode: 222372 Meetings are presently scheduled for the 2nd and 4th Saturdays of the month, starting at 0900 GMT. Please adjust for your present time zone! The link, ID and Passcode are the same for each meeting as it is set up as recurring. It was found last time that joining before I click start on my computer is possible but you find you get punted and have to rejoin once I do! No, I don't know why. Please note - August has 5 Saturdays in it and so there will be a three week gap between this weekend (23rd as the fourth Saturday) and the next (12th September as the second Saturday). For those interested, it is basically a chat session where hints, tips and ideas are bandied about along with some show and tell. Some people have been able to do little demonstrations for those watching from time to time - it really depends on your internet connection and bandwidth along with the set up you have as to how well it will work.

Sithlord75 Posted September 13, 2020 Author Share Posted September 13, 2020 Thanks to those who joined us last night - especially the new people. Hopefully you found it enjoyable and stimulating. It isn't always about GWR locos! (Thanks however to @queensquare and @Ian Smith for the informative discussion. I enjoyed listening even if most of it still went well over my head!). Next ZAG is 26th. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium 65179 Posted September 13, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 13, 2020 Thanks again for organising this Kevin. Good to put a few faces to names and talk 2mm in these strange times. Simon 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest, both Ian and I were early so we just chatted away - didn't realise anyone else was listening! Jerry 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A photo of the chassis below : Chassis is a split milled brass affair, and will be secured to body by a bolt through the insulated hole at the back into the bunker. The motor is one of the new 6mm diameter tramfabriek ones now stocked by the shop, sitting on a plasticard saddle, driving the leading drivers with a (very) old Association 36:1 worm and gear. The wheels are also old Association ones - steel stub axle, cast white metal wheel with nickel silver tyre (same as I’ve used on my Dean Goods).

RMweb Gold 2mmMark Posted September 19, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 19, 2020 I'm just setting off for the 2mm AGM. I don't expect the traffic to be too bad once I get past the lounge. I may have to step over one or other of the dogs. See you later everyone. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pixie Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 You jest, but I got stuck in traffic on the M25 this morning which meant I didn’t make it home in time. Luckily, with the wonders of modern technology, I could still ‘attend’! Pix 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caley Jim Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 (edited) Probably done his quarantine by the time he got off the M25! I once heard it described as the world's biggest parking place - inside lane = longterm parking; middle lane = short term parking; outside lane = looking for a parking place!

Pix I wondered why you were 'videoless' in the meeting Steve - that explains it (although if you'd put the phone camera on, it would probably have been the first time a gearstick and handbrake attended a 2mm AGM) Andy (one of the "co-hosts" for the Zoom meeting).

richbrummitt Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 I was meant to be somewhere else this weekend but didn’t go. That meant the usual weekend routine so I was leaving the swimming baths just before 1100 and thought I would be unable to attend. To my surprise I found out that if I plug my phone into the car I can ‘join’ a zoom meeting through CarPlay but listening along without video seems to be the only functionality. Pixies set up seems to be less integrated and higher functioning as a result. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sithlord75 Posted September 21, 2020 Author Share Posted September 21, 2020 Well I was pleased to be able to attend an AGM - and whilst I wasn't stuck in traffic, I did managed to build a chassis for a LNWR D22 cattle wagon. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Julia. Hello Julia! How’s things? Congratulations on the Chairman’s Cup, well deserved! I was granted exemption from quarantine through work, although I still limited myself to only going to work and distancing/face-masking at all times just in case I was carrying it. Thankfully, all clear here. The time not spent outdoors certainly gave a lot of time to get some CAD work done, I even spent a little time on Autodesk Fusion which was fun. My other half did have to quarantine; two weeks indoors almost drove her insane. Cheers, Steve 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sithlord75 Posted November 10, 2020 Author Share Posted November 10, 2020 G'day Zaggers. Next ZAG is this coming Saturday, 14 November. Usual start time of 0900 GMT - which means if you're in the UK as the clocks have gone back since the last ZAG you'll be on earlier than pervious. Log in details as per the OP.
