  1. Surely the incoming DCC is seperate from the Loconet as shown in the diagrams. Presumably your modular standard has a DCC connection board to board that will provide the feed if using someone elses command station. What you have shown as +ve and -ve, more commonly labelled as J and K (following Lenz). Incidentally, in your diagram it should be the +ve, red, connected to the common of the detector module, as you have it -ve, black, goes to both sides of the track when switched through the module.
  2. I don't see an LN6061 on the Yamork product list. Do you mean the YD6016LN ? Anyway I don't see any need for switching to bypass the detectors, the track current can still pass through the detectors when using a different system and the outputs are not being used.
  3. What makes you think Lyndon Davies has left? Companies House thinks he is in charge https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/officers/bltr97sd42rZgL7za-ieUbkRsWI/appointments
  4. And look at the back of the report to see just how much of an increase the top two got for running at a loss.
  5. Take out the down escalators and there will be plenty of room for said border people to stand around and harass people leaving straight off the platform ends, plenty of room for a couple of tables and an X-ray machine to deal with suspicious baggage, and even for an interview room and body scanner for those suspected of drug smuggling.
  6. The report is very big on the superb skills and abilities of the IPA staff. But the results of their efforts are dire, Surely deploying those skills should result in most projects showing green, else they are not adding value and might as well be disbanded.
  7. The prohibition notice in this case does not require CDL. It just requires them to follow their agreed procedure for managing the doors with the bolts they have fitted.
  8. Doesn't seem to be any Green St around Leicester Sq. anymore.
  9. No it won't. No need to remove wiring, just fit the insulated joiners as above and feed track power top both loops. Then it will work.
  10. That will be more than a full time job then given the staff shortage!
  11. I thought that was the McMurtry Speirling that comes in at £984,000 compared to the Spectre at £350,000.
  12. I don't think the Peco bullhead points were available in 2012.
  13. I have been trying the last few days. My decoder works from DCC but I have not been able to link it, and I need to change the profile as it is for a diesel. Every attempt to link results in a request for a reset code. Hornby supplied one over the phone and I can go through the reset procedure and power cycle, get a message that the decoder is reset, and the next step goes right back to asking for reset code. Hornby have advised that it must be a decoder fault and I'm now waiting for a reply to the email they requested. Motorola moto g(6) play in my case.
  14. Surely not, there was a whole weekend of chaos in Russia to report on. 😀
  15. As was previously mentioned, the error on the plan is to show the turnout from said upper line set to lead normal into platform 2 when it should be acting as a trap and lie normal into the carriage siding. The incoming main line has to choose whether to be set for platform 1 or 2, so nothing wrong with having it set to platform 1, especially if the electric service on that platform is the more frequent one.
  16. If the two bidirectional lines are seperate routes, which is the only sensible reason for them to be bi-directional, then the platform starters should indeed be bracket signals as the driver needs to know which line he is departing for to confirm he has the correct single line token.
  17. And finally at Naivasha in the rift valley. Diesel 9043 on route, 2911, at the station.
  18. To finish off my 1970 trip. After spending time with the animals in Tsavo we passed through Nairobi. In addition to the 59 class Garrett already posted here are some carriages and 1101, 4612 and 8503 on shunting duty.
  19. Then to Moshi where we found a passenger rake stabled and loco 1301 on shunt duty. From Moshi we crossed the border to Kenya, heading for Voi for the Tsavo Park then to Nairobi.
  20. From Dodoma we continued North, first to Arusha where we caught loco 2460.
  21. At Dodoma 1102 was shunting whilst 2504, 2508 and 2919 were getting attention on shed.
  22. Here is the EAR HQ in Nairobi, just across the road from the station. My visit was a road trip up from Zambia via Dodoma, through to Nairobi and onto the rift valley before returning via the coast at Mombasa then Dar es Salaam. First contact with EAR was at Dodoma. A small town then and the station and shed just across the road from the hotel.
