Nope, that was me burping. January 8th and I know that the Crane tank is the big secret that is not to be revealed to anyone as they will have to be silenced without mercy. Si.

RMweb Premium Tim Dubya Posted December 29, 2017 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted December 29, 2017 Got me Vero Pins today. I thought the next time I had a play with some copperclad, I'd use some of these too and mix with plastic chairs or something. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Captain Kernow Posted December 31, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 31, 2017 (edited) They were called Bagnalls because all the original S&DJR 0-6-0T 3Fs were built by Bagnalls. Why is someone swinging Prince Charles' pram into the side of that locomotive, by the way? Perhaps they don't realise that it's the wrong box.

RMweb Premium Clive Mortimore Posted January 3, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 3, 2018 Hi Tim On the Ransome crane thread you posted "£200", well I was so tempted to post "Going Going Gone to the cat at the back" then thought some of these guys are being serious..... Helen, never trust a hippy So back to normal, I have this single, the record shop I used to frequent only had four import copies. 2 went to my mates who pretended to work in there, no idea who had the 4th. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Captain Kernow Posted January 3, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 3, 2018 Now here's a bit of an odd thing. Earlier this evening, while I was assisting CTMK make here extremely healthy blueberry pancakes for tea, it occurred to me that the kitchen lights were a bit less bright than normal and the same in other rooms. CTMK felt the same. Later on in the evening, the lights suddenly brightened a bit, and stayed at that level of brightness. Is the National Grid supplying us with a lower level of voltage at peak times, in order to avoid having to turn the lights off completely somewhere?

Is the National Grid supplying us with a lower level of voltage at peak times, in order to avoid having to turn the lights off completely somewhere? Mr Captain Yes. Deep in my memory is an explanation of the phenomenon you and your good lady (and lots of others) experienced. At busy times the voltage can drop, and is sometimes made to drop as to maintain the frequency of the alternating current at 50 cycles per second or else everything could go "PUFF". That is what would happen if the grid people tried to keep the voltage constant. I was taught that as a 16 year old trainee engineer with the CEGB while I was working in the control room at Goldington Power Station. The next stage is taking some of the load off the system, a power cut. So when everything goes "PUFF" you know why. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
