      NICE... How does that compare over the Lenz Set90 or Set100 system... I would be interested to hear...

      I haven’t got it yet but I intend to still use my Lenz handsets with it alongside other options.

      Hi Andi,

       

      35 years today I was divorced from Mrs M Mk1. The one that had knickers that were like the lift in the NatWest Tower. So I wasn't interested in what sir bob the untalented was up to.

      Was that the one where my mate Steve from Modern English was the best man?

    A little bit of knowledge is a dangerous thing. Add a sprinkling of ignorance and the determination that only you know what is the truth and it becomes lethal.

    A pair of 37s and 25 Freightliner flats fit in the goods loop, exactly as calculated when I designed the layout 15 years ago! 3736A341-F0C7-414D-A13B-BB3F90CCE8CD.jpeg.8e240112658ca27b7f2f738d0af064d9.jpeg

      Good you didn't have to go to hospital. I can't image Sheena with a blue face.....as you don't have any kids.

      I've slashed the same bit of the same finger so many times I've bought some cutproof gloves for it otherwise it will fall off soon!

    DR5000 success. Lenz LH100 and two phones all able to control trains at the same time.

      7APT7

      All good news then, and I take it, you would recommend the DR5000 now it is all working...

    I really wish Hornby would make their locos with the LEDs wired common positive.

      Anyone could be forgiven for imagining that you might be thinking of "chipping" the things ... .

       

      Seriously though, if they were to do this, it would make life a lot easier - especially for models with white and red lights in the same place - such as a number of multiple units (not just UK outline, either).

  13. Dagworth

    Laptops... Grrrrrrr

  14. Dagworth

    Much easier painting rails before ballasting!

      All my work cancelled yesterday, venues closed and festivals pulled

       

  16. Dagworth

    Quite satisfying to rewire most of a three level baseboard and it all work perfectly when tested!

    1. Huw Griffiths

      Huw Griffiths

      Sounds like my sort of enjoyment.

       

      First comes the fun part - the wiring.

       

      Then comes the satisfying part - finding it all works.

       

      Finally comes what some people might call "bragging rights" - the sense of achievement - nobody can take that away.

       

      Ever get the impression I used to work in a university?

  17. Dagworth

    Sheena sent home from work coughing. That's us in quarantine for a fortnight

    Thanks FBB for commenting that the BDTS and the DTC are different! EF210 isn't a BDTS!

    1. Clive Mortimore

      Clive Mortimore

      Wots EF210 please mister?

      one of the drawings in the BR diagrams books, claims to be a BDTS but is a DTC

       

    3. Clive Mortimore

      Clive Mortimore

      Ah! a diagram 434 which in the old , pre topsy turvy days, diagram book was called a DTC. See start to put things on a computer and mistakes happen.

    The cupboard that spontaneously produces locos has struck again, class 81 with Heljan chassis. Seems I have two of them now :)

      I've read Night Watch every year since it came out as it coincides with my Birthday.

       

      AND I thought I'd checked everything before posting...

    Well that's it then, glad I have enough plasticard and plastic weld to keep me sane

     

    1. Dagworth

      Dagworth

      As long as it *is* plastic weld and not water, as two bottles that I had in stock were!

    When the woman two doors down complains about me tapping track pins in while working on the layout in the garden at 7pm on Saturday now has to put up with builders working inside the house three doors down all day... Karma

    1. Hroth

      You do get some sensitive souls!

      Karmic payback is such a bitch!!!

      About 50 years ago our neighbour used to complain that my layout was interfering with her telly. Then one day she complained while I was out at Scouts. Not a dicky-bird after that.
