  13. Hi Guys..... As they say in some parts around here..... ' A'it gettin' dark early now' ? Looking for guidance on how to wire up toggle switches.....for isolated lengths of track.....will be placing plastic joiners on the 'live' rail to break the feed, keeping the 'negative' rail fed from the bus wire beneath, what would be the treatment for the live feed.....and how is the toggle switch wired into the mix....? Sorry to be ' slightly dense, if not solid north of the neck' ! Regards as always.... Bob
  14. Mike was so so pease to leave the car dealership for his cherished ambition to work the local Safari Park, mind you the dealership was glad to see him depart as bad luck always seemed to follow him around....! Mike's first morning saw him given the task of cleaning the fish pond containing the world's finest collection of Koi Carp.....the ranger saying that he should take care as they were easily 'spooked' and could die if scared...,,,Mike waded into the pool to to clear weed and waste away....but was then horrified as fish began to 'turn their fins up' and float lifelessly on the surface..... Worried that he would get the sack on his first day for killing the prize fish, he scooped them up and decided to feed them to the lions immediately to hide the evidence hoping no one would notice his misfortune....? Next day the ranger said they wanted him to attend to the Monkey House as it was mucky....so again he went straight in and spooked the Monkeys so much that some of these too fell down dead.....once more he had the thought that the lions would welcome the meat so fed these too to them to hide further evidence.......? On his third day,....the ranger gave Mike all the necessary protection gear and smoke machine for him to remove the honey from the beehives safely.....but once again misfortune struck when he completely destroyed the hives as he knocked one over and they all went 'domino-like' into a complete pulped mess of bees and honey.......! Again to hide the mess the lions were fed the lot......! The next day.....a new lion arrived into the enclosure and introduced himself to the remaining pride in the Safari Park.....asking one of the lionesses what the place was like to live in...she said...... 'Okay I suppose...? 'Only okay....? 'Aye...it's clean enough and everyone's happy save for the food here....' 'How so'....? 'Well all they seem to serve up is........'Fish, Chimps and Mushy Bees' !

How did we get to the end of the summer 2017 running season....seemingly so quickly.....the 'final' down service last Sunday arrives into Arley.....weekends only now (save for half term week running)....Halloween event followed by the 'Big Man' in residence during December......autumn has arrived so colourfully....... Take care my friends....regards as always Bob

  18. Hi Andy.... If that herd of cattle should stray close to the trackside, I hope that they have functioning warning 'bells' around their necks.... if their 'horns' don't work... Great work mate... Have a great weekend...regrads to all... Bob
  19. Hi Guys Have been digesting the very useful information on platform construction techniques contained within the pages from PLS.....their link reproduced here for reference for all........ http://www.pls-layouts.co.uk/html/platforms.htm Cheers Folks...Regards as always... Bob
  20. Viewing these beauties has made me go all 'gooey' and teary eyed! Bob

  22. Hi guys...... I wondered whether we could exchange information here on ways that you good guys move through the procedure of making station platforms (00 ideally) that are built from scratch....balsa wood.....plasterboard...card kits......or other mediums.....? I am at that stage where this will be a major consideration.....going back some 40 years as a young lad make platforms from shaped balsa and painted it grey, scoring the surface to making an indication of slabbed surfaces and edges.....any links or advice on moving forwards I am sure would be appreciated by many..... Looking to imitate something akin to this beautiful vista.... Regards as always..... Bob
