    It's a wonderful life, until you have a car crash. RIP Colin Vearncombe.

      Yes indeed - we are getting through them this month aren't we!

      I have a cassette of that album and still play it. Very sad.

    My Pul Syn Etic headmasters attachment works beautifully on the test bench. Now allocating a pair of wires in various cables from Ely Dock operating floor to the house. Does Mrs LNERGE really know what she has let herself in for?

      Provided it's legal and involves sausages.

      We'll see how long it lasts once it actually starts going 'clunk click'

      The Clock 36 makes a lovely sound, the control relay-set for the clock pulses is mounted in the loft and it runs off solar panels and batteries. Mine does between 16 and 22 swings before it toggles..

      LNERGE

      Ah that's handy. You nearly got a call to ask about that. It'll make you cry what i had to do to the toggle to get it to work.

    I've gained an 80 year old operator for my boxes. He worked the Melton Constable boxes. Thought i's see if i could make some of the pulls a bit easier... Guess i'm letting thing's slip here. The signal that was a bit heavy here had two seized wheels..

    a 2 car Derby lightweight arrived over xmas. Finally got it ready to run with decoders fitted etc and the model railway clear enough to run it on.

      We saw the 14:00 ex Edinburgh that passed Hitchin at 18:17. The vomit comet went back to it's own side after unveiling at KX

  12. LNERGE

    It actually works better with all the wires attached.

      12 inch to the foot scale signalling simulator made from a converted telephone exchange... One tiny little wire missing causing chaos.

  13. LNERGE

    Oh joy. It seems i've just said yes to having a concrete semaphore.

      Owwwww, very swish. I'm not going to help you lift that post! Mind you I could find a home for it..... ;-)

    Lets try and terminate the cores in the right order today.

      48 core of unknown origin. Pairs 1 to 10 easy. I couldn't find another group of five after that. Pairs 21 - 24 were yellow blue, yellow orange, yellow green and yellow brown. The termination issue was to do with it being high up in the signalbox roof and i couldn't see the gates on the termination block, i was in a hurry because someone was coming to play with said signalbox and i wanted them to help test the cable, i'd lit the stove and was sweating buckets, doing the brownies ru...

      Much easier when they are all black with numbers printed down the side.

    4. Alister_G

      Alister_G

      sounds like old GPO code. Pair 25 should be yellow with slate, and 26 would be yellow with blue/white

  15. LNERGE

    6L37 had just three wagons today. All OCA's. Nice to see in this day and age.
