Coldgunner Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 Don't write anything new on the memory cards, its still possible to recover lost files from them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gordon s Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 (edited) Might be worthwhile buying one of these Gilbert. Less that £2 and it will allow you to plug the SD card into the USB slot on your PC. It should read directly from the card then. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Integral-USB-Single-Slot-Reader/dp/B000VY80AM/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1320684631&sr=8-1 Edited November 7, 2011 by gordon s 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
micklner Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 Never heard of them before . Got one on ebay for £1.29 inc postage Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coldgunner Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 I bought one of them USB 7in1 card readers years ago, casing fell off and is merely a pcb now, but it still comes in handy! Once you get direct access to your card, try a file recovery program, as all the system does when you delete is erase the file header. Great modelling work by the way, which building is that?

RMweb Premium great northern Posted November 7, 2011 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted November 7, 2011 Picture an overcast damp Sunday afternoon in cottonopolis, the heady mix of soot, boiled potatoes and cabbage in the air mixing with the smell of chicken feed off the allotments. The clanking of an Austerity 2-8-0 drowns out Ruby Murray on Forces Favourites as it drifts down grade light engine across the fields towards the shed at Lees. It might have been a scene that had unfolded a million times for most folk, but to an enthusiast, it was the beginning of a new wave.......The damned WD's were moving in to take replace "our" Austin Sevens! Smell as well as sound Larry? I have to say the smell of (over) boiled cabbage has haunted me since school dinner days, so i'm afraid that though I could recreate that. I shan't. The other problem is that I don't seem to be able to tune in to the Light programme. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium great northern Posted November 7, 2011 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted November 7, 2011 Hi All, Yet mmore attempts to load up photos, to top it I have lost my compplete constructional set of photos as my card is no longer recognised by my computer it says can't recognise thedirectory and have since found out that all my photos are deleted i'm absolutly furious all that work taking photos for sweet nothing.:-( Good news is I managed too save a couple to the hard drive at a point when i was saving to the computer before being distracted :-) Station masters house. A closer view showing before paintwork cleaned up. the model looks bent but i can assure it is perfectly straight, no wide angle lense more to follow including some lovely island platform side canopy brackets etched by our own Pete Harvey PHD models. now to the dentist :-( cheers Peter Hi Peter, Sorry to hear of your problems, but hopefully some of the replies on here may help you to recover the images after all. Now to the really important stuff- those buildings are wonderful. It has been well worth waiting for, but then I always knew it would be. I can't wait to see the rest! And of course to get them in their rightful places on the layout. Gilbert Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidw Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 Been a bit quiet this weekend folks, as I managed to resist both running trains and taking photos, and got on with a bit of modelling. There is still so much to do, I think I've just been putting off getting started on anything. Anyway, within a couple of days there may be something to show for this sudden burst of activity. In the meantime, here are a few more of Andy's lovely pics. What is it that's attractive about a grimy WD? You couldn't call them handsome by any stretch of the imagination, but they have character. This is yet another one waiting patiently to get into New England yard. The crew probably aren't in a hurry, as there could be overtime pay not far away. Next is A1 Sir Vincent Raven waiting to return home with the Down Heart of Midlothian. Which had been brought in a few minutes earlier by A4 Gannet. The fireman has been very quick in removing the express lights. And panning to the left, modernisation in the form of a Cravens DMU waits to transfer to Platform 4 to form an all stations stopper to Louth. The new camera really captures the sense of bulk of these machines. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timara Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 That really does look superb Peter! The canopies will really set that off when they arrive.

It has been well worth waiting for, but then I always knew it would be. I can't wait to see the rest! And of course to get them in their rightful places on the layout. Gilbert Couldn't agree more Gilbert! The one I'm looking forward to seeing will be the overall roof at the south end . As to camera cards, I remember losing a load of images a couple of years ago when I forgot to transfer them to the PC first. I learnt the hard way, sadly!

RMweb Premium great northern Posted November 13, 2011 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted November 13, 2011 Evening all. Not much has been happening, or at least not as far as the railway is concerned, as real life rather rudely interrupted my 1950's idyll. A visit to my GP on 1st November resulted in a referral to hospital, and a spell on the operating table on Thursday 8th. Things looked a bit bleak for a while, and I'd never have thought that I'd be pleased to hear a surgeon tell me that I have a large polyp on my colon. I was though, as it almost certainly banishes all worries of the rather nasty alternative. Anyway, it has gone, all 44mm of it. and I'm nearly back to 100%. I was going to post some more photos, but the site is very slow, so I'll leave it till tomorrow. It has put irritants like derailments back into perspective I can assure you. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium great northern Posted November 13, 2011 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted November 13, 2011 Hi Gilbert, good grief you don't hang around! Glad to hear it all went well and that you're on the mend.. It was the NHS that didn't hang around Gordon. Pretty impressive stuff I must say. This 14 day action period in suspected cancer cases really does seem to work. I certainly didn't expect it would be dealt with so fast. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coldgunner Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 (edited) I have some reasonable experience with cancer, not a nice thing to have hanging over your head.

RMweb Premium great northern Posted November 14, 2011 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted November 14, 2011 First folks, may thanks for your concern and good wishes, which are much appreciated. I'm fine now, and no worries about what the biopsy may show. Right, back to more pleasant matters- a few more shots as the day at Peterborough develops. What a sight! Decidedly down at heel local A2/1 Duke of Rothesay has arrived with the 1,45pm Kings Cross- Newcastle relief. This was taken yesterday evening with just artificial light. I'm well aware of what a challenge it is for the camera- dirty matt locos aren't the easiest of subjects. Same shot this morning, augmented by what little daylight there is. And a close up of the Duke in all its "glory". One or two people told me at Spalding show that they like the forest of signals at the North end, so here is an Ivatt 4 which has recently reversed its terminated M&GN service into a carriage siding, and will shortly use the engine road to get to New England. The artic twin in the background is awaiting attention at the carriage repair shed. Unfortunately, it actually is, an essential coupling mechanism having sheered off. And here is another strange train. This is a Grimsby- Peterborough train, which then ran on to Kings Cross, though not advertised as such in the public timetable. The loco is 61202, a Lincoln engine. Should be an Immingham engine, but I can't resist employing one or two of the engines I saw regularly during my early spotting days at Lincoln. More later.

gr.king Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 Hello Gilbert Having started to look at your layout images for the first time, after somebody kindly pointed me in the right direction on saturday, I must say it all looks very nice. I was going to relay this message (and more) to you as a PM, but that seems to be impossible at present, so I'll limit my remarks..... Best of luck with the continuing effort. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
