LNERGE

The weather is weird this afternoon - pressure up and down but no rain here - yet !

Loads of rumbles and i've seen the odd flash. Rain beaten by the chap next door lending his fishing brolly. Expecting Mother Nature's response to be lightning bolt straight down it's shaft.

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..

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.

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..

Not in this case. Poor condition of a bridge or the track over it.

Is this the one that has had a speed restriction over it for ages?

Yes thats the one 20mph for ages 5 mph yesterday. 0 today

No surprise there!It was a common crop on farms at one time

… or just the number of rivets holding the abomination together?

When i looked it was right time at Retford. I didn't realise they could go that far.

Congratulations! I wish I'd missed lots of Pacers over the years, horrible things.

Testing things while in your armchair, or testing actual armchairs?

Testing from the comfort of an armchair. I wonder if the armchair would need to be orange?

Best be on the safe side.

You've been done, it's flat.

That bit isn't

Iron the pages, should sort it out.

cold shower ?

I know how you feel LNERGE, I had a lovely 04:15 start this morning, then back home, few hours sleep then im awake again. And back to the same for tomorrow. Coupled with this heat, it's like 2 days in one!

My night amounted to saw the end off a bit of point rodding, punch two holes, bolt it all back together and hand to my colleague to test. Simples. Except now i have the get up and go of a sloth.

Points mean prizes..

Testing points should always be well labelled.

Now Mr Point - can you tell us about your relationship with Miss C Lamplock

Fascinating.

Is this on a thread somewhere where I can ask questions?

No thread as such i'm afraid. You can PM me by all means.

Thanks, I will as I am most interested.

(This might take a day or two though!)

Love the movement of an HW machine!

Is it a solenoid or slow action motor?

Nice neat job that - but I would have expected nothing less.

Are hard to keep on the track as they are so light!

I've managed to secrete a nice bit of lead sheet in the first one. I think it'll be ok.

You can get medication for that, I believe.

Ooh, whereabouts?

Doncaster - Doncaster via KX x2 and Royston..

Ta.

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..
