    Andy,

     

    Apparently I can't PM you - could you (or another admin) PM me as I have a question to ask you?

     

    Regards,

    Does anyone else frequently find themself spending longer (sometimes a lot longer) searching for something eaten by the Carpet Monster than it would have taken to make a replacement part?

    Gapping copperclad sleepers, more tedious than ballasting

      This is on points that have been laid. I should have done them on the bench in hindsight 

       

      Only ten points (plus some half points that cross board joints) and a double slip on this board!

    On target to finish all scenic track laying on Ipswich by New Year. One point left to build.

    1. Dagworth

      Dagworth

      Still waiting on a delivery of chairs for some pot sleepers. If I hit my goal then all track will have been built and laid in one year.

  14. Captain_Mumbles

    Well, that is an important part of the layout done.

    Receiving small cardboard boxes in the post is a big part of modern life.

     

    I'm the sort of person who keeps little boxes that "might be useful".

     

    So why is it that when I want to send something in a small cardboard box I cannot find a suitable one anywhere?

     

    1. Dagworth

      Dagworth

      Waiting for cardboard boxes to arrive in the post is an even bigger part...

    What are people's loco fleet sizes like?

    I have 2 x shunters & 6 x big diesels to operate 2 micro layouts 🤔

    My new Antex XS25 is a lot hotter than my old one. Both still work, both same model. Is this a change to reflect lead-free working? 

    1. Dagworth

      Dagworth

      Both say 230v 25w on the handle. Not that the mains voltage actually changed in most places, a quick check with the multimeter here says mine is 241 volts

      Always worth having a spare, sod's law says the old one will die when you need it most and can't get a replacement. The new one also has the heatproof cable.

    Filing insulation gaps in copperclad sleepers on a 4ft long piece of three track pointwork is tedious

    1. Dagworth

      Dagworth

      I use a small round file, and then go over all the sleepers with fine wet and dry so there are no sharp edges to the gaps and once painted they can’t be seen

    Back to building points for Ipswich

    1. Dagworth

      Dagworth

      The photos disappeared in the recent problems on the site and I haven’t got round to re-uploading them yet. The station area boards all exist with track complete in p2,3&4 and the carriage/loco sidings, the London end helix is also finished. I’m working on the first board north of the Ancaster Road bridge at the moment. Currently 24 feet of what will be scenic boards are built, still a lot to go though. 
       

      I was a second man at Ipswich in 1985 and that is when the layout is set. All the loco changes etc.
