Two things worry me here, what is wrong with playing with youngest grandsons Brio train set when he is not around? Secondly my doctor who is much younger than I but has been my "Doc" for nearly twenty years always greets me with "Good to see you alive Mr. Little" good job he has a sense of humour, I think!!

They were....

I was one of them for seven years, even in the early seventies it was reasonable money.... for its time 🙀

Bye the way congratulations on the 10 years of this thread Tony, during lockdown an absolutely essential piece of daily life. Regards Peter

I vaguely remember a text explaining that any brake that was "wrong way round" would have its compartments next to the locomotive closed off to passengers in the 1930's. I am off to see if I can find it amongst the reading in my bookshelves. Regards Peter

That is superb Tom, ridiculously good. Regards Peter

Hi Tony, are those buttresses still at the end of your garden or have they been removed? Regards Peter

Mallard at speed is a lovely image Tony.

Good morning Tony. I would think having met you several times that your skills as a builder are of far more use than another layout. In the short time we have met at shows you have fixed / attended to many failed locomotives, you have built wagons, kindly let me suggest and interject on electrical faults with items, but most of all your introduction of children to the hobby and construction of items is second to none and a very valuable asset for any exhibition to have. Regards

So am I.....

To everyone on here, although I am not getting any modelling done at present please keep safe and well. The standard on here is exceptional. Regards Peter

Apologies did not pick up on the earlier description mentioning you are using IN5401 1844 diodes. Can I ask are you switching Point D in a sequence and if so how many Points are operated before Point D is operated? What happens if the other points are disconnected and you operate Point D on its own? None of the diodes you would suspect have failed they are simply a one way current blocking device therefore you would assume there has to be something with Point D that the CDU cannot cope with. Out of interest have you disconnected everything including the CDU, removed all power sources and tested the diodes on the board to ensure there is no leakage across them your multimeter will do this with either it set to diode or resistance? As above I apologise if I am repeating things you have tried or give the expression of teaching to suck eggs. Regards Peter

I have posted this on the relevant thread as well, apologies for the duplication Tony. Good morning all Sorry to interrupt this conversation but which model of diode are you using as this is showing all the symptoms of a low level of power. I can explain more if required. Regards Peter

Good evening Tony, the two track scenic section of this layout is superb, for something in theory so simple this really does capture the era. Regards Peter
