    Just had a visit from a young signalling enthusiast. He took on Ely North Junction with minimal tuition and worked it single handed. There is hope.

      There is a new group of Signallers training at York at the moment. Would he/she be one of these by any chance?

      Seemingly taken on to work mechanical boxes wherever they can.

    A very pleasurable morning nipping the lever frame out of a signalbox for reuse.

      Utter pond life. I believe a speeding drill bit was the preferred method used on kneecaps by PIRA when I was in Norn Iron. Either way, it'd still smart.

      Lever frame removal experience? Or maybe insertion and withdrawal of a token?

    Knock knock on the front door,. A lady is standing there. She says i've been told to give you this... A bag of circuit diagrams and an office copy of KX signalbox diagram.

    Nipped out for a cycle with the lad on the crossbar. We set ourselves up next to the railway to await our train.. Along comes a chap with a dog. ''Something special coming?'' he asked. Yes i said. The Royal Scotsman. ''No it's called The Flying Scotsman'' he insisted. Along comes a 66 with Royal Scotsman on the side..

      A little knowledge is dangerous thing! A crossword clue might say "Initially That Was Absolute Twaddle" (4 letters)!

      I had to get them to move their potted ferns... they were on the veranda and foul of the loading gauge, Elys platforms have never been so clean!

    I have been ringfencing cash to lash out on an SLW 24 but every time i'm nearly there another ECML signalbox diagram shows up. Two in the last 7 days in fact..

      It seems quite content where it is next to it's isolated bit of track. HHopefully there to stay.

    The points are working in my new 12 inch to the foot scale signalbox.

      No. The point motor is actually inside the signalbox. All the trains are generated by a simulator.

    331mw being generated by 'coal', most likely biomas in fact at Drax.

      Drax still burns coal in 1 or 2 of it's boiler I think

    Holy smoley. My stopcock failed to turn the water off completely. Amazing how wet one can get changing a tap.

      I know where the street main stop cock is so I can turn my property stop cock off as well. It is in the nature strip and it is about 10minutes of digging to get to it but you do need a spanner to turn it off!

      I have some divining rods if any body wants to borrow them.

      Track circuit bond wires make super divining rods.

    I was asked by a colleague to evict the residents and their cobwebs from a lineside relay location case. I now have a little finger the size of North Watford, a clear entry point and a temperature.

      I don't know about compo, but look forward to super spider senses, being able to shoot webs from your wrists etc. And remember: with great power comes great responsibility.
