LNERGE

Ho hum. There are good days and there are bad days. I do at least build signalboxes too.

Moss earlier this week..

So you're going to cling onto my house roof as well?

Very nice, just found your video. Its massive as is the collection of signals and signs.

Brief and old video of mine, its changed a little since then. Will do a new one soon.

Super stuff. There is so much more space outside. Here's mine. Built to entertain my little people but it does have a use now and then.. It can be set up as a continuous run and used to transfer key tokens on my full size signalling simulator <G>

Squirrels have had it away with some of the cabling so far this year on my patio railway. Will sort out next weekend hopefully.

Oh gawd i haven't considered the electrical side of things yet.

Gear today, gone tomorrow?

Might need an automatic gearbox?

I was thinking more along the lines of a continuously variable one, DAF-style. Imagine if that were possible for a model gearbox!

Watch out for the ground signals !

When we get in there the locking for 11 is still present. 11 locks the gates normal as well as the up home and starter... No evidence of discs however but 10 and 12 are the main suspects.

thinks there is a reason why they're called rot-aside.

Hat, coat

Big or not so big railway ?

Big. 1 1/2 miles long.

Is that all?

A bit more than a dusting up here in the NW corner of Herts!!

Ok yes i changed my mind once i got outside to scrape the van. I also failed to get up Sharpenhoe Clappers on my way to the new goods loop at Sundon.

Ely?

very much so.

Surely if the train starts the wrong way round, you turn it, it should then be the right way around?

Sounds great to me

Could have done with a pot belly stove whilst tramping around a goods yard yesterday afternoon... ;-)

It was certainly appreciated yesterday. It also added the finishing touch to the overall effect of the box.

It's been going all day today too. Got a fault to look at later so at least i've got somewhere to defrost.

Softie! I managed 11 minutes earlier!

Most of what needs doing is in the big signalbox so i can wait until later when the stove is going. That'll help the motivation.

Good book though !

Yes it is going to be an interesting read. I did cover the mechanical signal fitters job up that way some years back..

Bad luck mate.....

Same here. No beer for a week and cough is loads worse than when I started on the meds. 3 weeks now and I'm slowly just starting to beat it. Plenty fluids, paracetamol and try a bit of rest if you can. All the best mate!

Seems something is lurking in there. I don't know how though.

Yeah..lots of odd crackling and fizzing noises in the chest cavity but when you cough, very little moves. Cough medicines totally ineffective. Only thing that worked for me was standing in the hot shower and breathing in the steam..

Hope you all get over it very soon !

Making a double slip to try and keep the brain active/distracted

4mm that is.

Was it a futile gesture?

Nice one ! - does it work ?

Just installed, commissioning next week.

Very !

At least one of the former signalmen left happy ish.

Near miss report duly filed?

Near turned round and went home again. Persisting rain and the prospect of a 12 hour shift ahead sorely tested the motivation.

I know the feeling...
