If you search on eBay for Blackheath Station, there's a photo showing that by 1962, loco tenders were being used for the water and chemicals.

( unable to post link for some reason )

That dimmer seems to have done the trick 👍

If the picture's anything to go by, he's several tools.

Maybe he's a Swiss Army cat. 😄

Definitely a Ghost

Don't know if they'd work but you could search for bridging unit hinges.

👍

Would this help?

Is that the same chewing gum that was stuck to the bed post over night?  😄

Nice one. Thank you.

Do you have a link for the supplier please. Ta

The pcb and screw pack still out of stock for about a month now, fingers crossed they turn up soon.

Just did an order, out of stock on the screw pack and the PCB board, forgot to order the PCB tabs but will do when rest back in stock.

Woking Pre Assembly Depot was mostly built on loco ash. Once a month or so the local fire brigade would turn up and spend a few hours hosing the ground down, as deep underneath it was still smouldering and that was back in the late 70's early 80's.

The notice in the first picture has the text "European war"  on second line of small text. So this probably is a WWI picture backed up by the number of female staff?

Also mentions that the Passenger train Boat services may be curtailed or interrupted. Still has V R on the post box.

I believe the GCR has a knackered one hidden away at Swithland.

3013 is at Swith and I think E3 has been moved there from Rothley but could be wrong on that one.

Also, along with the reply above, have you connected the handset to the right hand socket on the board with the red led? ( led to the top )

I did plug in to the wrong side once and found nothing happened, no control or programming.

Found this on YouTube. It's 58 minutes long.

10 minutes after the photo was taken, the RNLI turned up to save him!

It's not a wall-wart, it's a transformer with a lead and UK 3-pin plug ( which will have a fuse in it. ) Hornby HM700 R7337.

I would imagine the PSU has over current and short circuit protection built in.

The lining is a nice touch as well.

Wondering if that blade wasn't far enough mid-way to stop the little metal tag underneath the blade from making a connection, that might have given the false reading on your tester but as you say the fault seems to have cleared itself.

Going by your photo, the blades on the right hand point don't seem to be closed fully, that could be a cause.
