    It really annoys me when you get a comment like this from small minded people. Why do you play trains thats for kids!! (this type of comment really annoys me)

      Make a micro layout, set somewhere different to what you were working on? What about an RM web module for next members day?

  13. Earl Bathurst

    Cant make mind up if i should take out Cobalt point motors and put Peco there instead, maybe that will correct my point problem?

  14. Earl Bathurst

    I am so fed up and stressed. My points on the layout dont work. I am very close to ripping the whole thing up. Really fed up at the moment :(

      Im not any help, but i often get fed-up and think why the heck do i do this to myself...but when you find an answer or alternative you'll be much happier! at the end of the day its a hobby that we all enjoy, but we're bound to get annoyed from time to time...good luck mate ;)

      Try not to see it as one big job as it gets too much. Chop it down to smaller jobs and you'll sort it. Little victories etc..!

  16. Earl Bathurst

    Is really STRESSED because i cant change the accessory decoder addresses. 1-4 is fine but got anither 8 points to change. And the ESU manual is like reading hyroglifics (rant over) and help :)

  17. Earl Bathurst

      Find something you want to do that doesnt involve the government. Teachers commit suicide more often than most other professions.

      SWMBO says teaching is a calling, not a job. If you have to think about it too much then the massive cost of Uni may not be worth it.

      I know what you all mean I have always been interested in becoming a science teacher, its just the cost which puts me off. :(
