gordon s 21,019 Posted August 9, 2020 Author Share Posted August 9, 2020 New balls please..... Good news in that Sky took pity on me and are coming Tuesday. Whilst I can watch one TV, I can't record anything and as we have guests for lunch I have been instructed Moto GP is verboten..... There could be a new Q box on the horizon..... 7 Link to post Share on other sites

gordon s 21,019 Posted August 10, 2020 Author Share Posted August 10, 2020 (edited) Don't upset me this afternoon. Just back from golf and played 6 under my handicap, so all thoughts of led's, 00-SF and whatever contentious issues you may wish to choose are off limits...... Not only that our team came in with 90 points, 18 under as a team, so we could be in the money. Unlike railway modelling, occasionally it all comes together.......

gordon s 21,019 Posted August 10, 2020 Author Share Posted August 10, 2020 (edited) Must be my day....DHL have just delivered my panel from Optimalprint in Germany. Very pleased indeed.... Printed on 3mm Dibond, it has a lovely satin finish and reminds me of Formica in the old days. Cannot fault the printing and it comes with two huge circular magnets that could hold Titanic in place in Liverpool Docks. Faultless and perfect until I start drilling holes in it..... Oh, and £28 including delivery for a perfect 600 x 200 control panel. It will be interesting to compare to the other cheaper one I ordered.....

This will hardly put us the Net Worth list, but could be enough for a few golf balls...... Anyone see Ronnie O’Sullivan’s interview last night?

gordon s 21,019 Posted August 12, 2020 Author Share Posted August 12, 2020 Hi Guys Hoping for a massive storm and tons of rain, as it's bloomin' hot 'ere..... Just had the second control panel in and there's nothing to choose between them. Nice to have a spare as I'm bound to cock up the first...... Also made some headway of route selection. Turns out there is a way of having buttons on the mimic panel which would feed back into the ECoS to change routes. Quite tempted, but we'd be on bread and gruel for a for weeks to pay for it...... There are 16 channel modules you can buy from Digikeijs for around £36 that would do the job, but I'd need four of them. Maybe I'll just get stronger glasses..... Perhaps I'll add it to the wish list and just focus on the led switching for now.. It's stinking hot up my railway room and that's really stopping any work. Even golf today was tough and we started at 08.30am. By the time we came up 18 at 12.30, we were all whacked. The two pints of Doom Bar did a lot to ease the pain....but ET work is really off limits until it cools down a bit. 7 Link to post Share on other sites
