Wouldn’t it also mean issuing/re-issuing an exemption.  Not very likely.

Interesting video, Andy.

Is that the line where there are market stalls alongside too?  The line seems totally blocked but when a train is due goods are pulled back and canopies folded in.

I wonder what ORR would make of the compartment droplights. As I recall, the window slid down to level with the washbasin cover and you could basically sit with your whole body out of the window.

Easier than going down the corridor to the somewhat cramped toilet.

I have just been reading the Telegraph article. The view of the Telegraph readers is that the nanny state is getting in the way and that WCRC should be allowed to get on with it.

Well there’s a surprise.

Back in 1975 Aditi spent ages making handouts with lovely maps or landform diagrams for her geography students. When I did my PGCE at Keele there were courses all about classroom technology , Banda copiers, stencil cutters and how to make clever ohp slides with overlays. Also how to use a video tape (not cassette) player and film projectors. Eventually all that lot were replaced by computers. They also had some weird teaching machines that someone somewhere reckoned would replace teachers. They didn’t. 

I suffered a similar course, perhaps a couple of years after you.  By then we were not only encouraged to use video tape but to actually use video cameras (huge mains operated contraptions) to record our own presentations for use in our lessons.  They never told us that to actually use video tape in the classroom involved booking a system (the tv  with opening doors and a  Phillips Video player on a wheeled trolley thing)  via the schools AV technician, several weeks in advance.  It was at this point I realised that I wasn’t destined for an alternative career in film let alone an Oscar.

It is only ever ER’s where this happens.

Is our allocated share of server space full?   (of ******)?

Have the admins shifted us to 64Mb dial up to save the rest of RMweb?

Do the computer generated images offend the computer generated guardians of bandwidth usage?

Have we overstayed our welcome?

Banda copiers. 

It was only ever Geography teachers who used more than one colour carbon paper.

I guess you already knew that.

And how long before the York Area Group gives up and takes its unrivalled collection of civils rolling stock elsewhere? Most lines would kill for the civils fleet the YAG has built up over the past fifty years. The NYMR wouldn't be able to function without it.

Do they own the stock?  On their website they say that they raise funds for the purchase of stock for the NYMR.  No stock appears as assets in their accounts.

Not exactly keeping to the booked times. I see it is now 77mins late at Crianlarich.

Fault with the CDL?

For point motors that are relatively close together it might be better to run multicore cable from the switches. Or create a ‘loom’ using cable ties.  Purely to keep the wiring neater. 

Have you given up on the idea of replacing the tension locks with a wire loop?

So Tennants and Irn-Bru are classed as fruit after all.

That will be good news for those trying to meet their ‘five a day’.

Now if Tunnock’s could also be classed as a fruit ….

I packed it in two years ago when the Park Street Politbureau instigated a pathetic pretence of a system which required me to lie to prospective customers. It isn't easy concealing a six or seven coach train with empty seats from passengers I was told to turn away as "full".

I may be being naive, thick, or both, but why on earth would he be asked to do that?

An excellent show as always. Some cracking layouts, but the highlight has to be the best custard doughnut I have ever eaten.

 

That’s definitely ‘out of gauge’ in places.

Just like me.

Seriously though, an excellent show, thanks to all involved.

The highlight for me was looking along the length of South Pelaw at all the exquisite signalling. An awesome sight.

Hi Rob.  That is a neat renumbering job.

When you say that the speaker was ‘courtesy of Accurascale’ do you mean they provided a free replacement to correct the impedance or did you have to buy it?  Is it just a case of snapping the new one in place and plugging it in?  

Will have absolutely everything crossed for @Dave Hunt tomorrow.

The Legomanbiffo one is far better and programmed to work the model. So as you are a good customer, send it too us for a 'FREE' reblow to a better sound.  Please pop in a £5.00 please to cover the postage.

 

I have lost count of how many we have reblown and supplied for these models.  Charlie

Am I correct in thinking that that doesn’t solve the impedance problem though.

More chance the scottish govt will run out of money to subsidize these lines and reduce services, maybe cut FW altogether,

That would solve WCRC’s problem with the Jacobite.
