If you build something and then find that it's wrong the only long term solution that you will be happy with is to take it to pieces and rebuild it right.

The correct verdict...

The Spontaneous Multiple Unit Generator has spawned again, another one I don't remember buying, a class 150 this time... Makes a change from 108s!

The trouble with "Wanted" ads is that they disappear off of VNC too quickly

Hi Andi
I know mates just talking together.
I ran a rebuilt Patriot with six LMS coaches behind it, and a B17 with four Thompson coaches behind it tonight as I done some modelling. I have now filed all the main windows to size as I convert a Tri-ang Sleeper coach to a SK. I also listened to the last weeks new releases as suggested by Spotify. This is one the best this week.
I hope you and Sheena are OK.

What do you mean "toy trains"?
Surely it's all "precision models" - and "serious research", presumably into all the vitally important details, such as exactly how many rivets were fitted to a specific loco (and precisely where they were fitted).
There's also the critical matter of how much
funoperating potential is offered by various layouts, loco / stock combos and whatever else.I probably shouldn't add this - but, when I was much younger, it wasn't exactly unknown for me to use the "serious research" term to describe
muckingroundwiththoroughly testing radio controlled buggies - throwing them round ridiculously tight "doughnuts", "figure 8s" and all manner of other stuff nobody would ever be allowed to try with a real, full sized, car.Saying that, though,
itwasgreatfunI'm sure I must have learnt a lot from all of this stuff - if nothing else, that I'd never want to drive like that in real life. (No prizes for guessing that my driving licence has always been clean.)Anyway, that's more than enough of my thread hijack. Back to the trains (and whatever else).

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.

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

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).

A pair of 37s and 25 Freightliner flats fit in the goods loop, exactly as calculated when I designed the layout 15 years ago!

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

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

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

Another fingertip falls victim to the craft knife, really should have learnt from the first time I did it!

Oh b*ll*cks

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