RMweb Premium southern42 Posted November 23, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 23, 2019 (edited) Look after yourselves, BoD, and anyone else similarly afflicted. If it is anything like the cold we have just had, it needs a lot of TLC and patience. ___________ Polly Edited November 23, 2019 by southern42 5 1 1 12 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium BSW01 Posted November 23, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 23, 2019 (edited) Good morning everyone A other day where we’ve had overnight rain but none at the moment and also another day of unspecified tinkering. Whilst doing said tinkering yesterday it became apparent that the power supply I’ve made will not operate solenoid type point motors, one of the main reasons for its existence. But to be fair, it is only for experimental purposes. However I did find that when a solenoid is connected directly to the output of the rectifier it would work. So I’ve come to the conclusion that the regulated PCB’s don’t give out enough ummph and I’m going to add a second rectifier and use the un-regulated output from it to power the solenoids. While I'm at it, I’ll also add a mains isolator switch and LEDs to indicate which output is on. Enjoy the day, back later Edited November 23, 2019 by BSW01 17 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Popular Post New Haven Neil Posted November 23, 2019 RMweb Premium Popular Post Share Posted November 23, 2019 Morning. No walk this morning while Debs is at Pilates, it's persisting down, or it was - looking a bit better this last half hour. Plan is to extract the campervan off the drive and take it for a decent drive, to charge the batteries. Arranged to meet John for lunch way down south in Port St Mary so about 60-70 mile round journey, that should put some amps back into the respective boxes. Then, who knows - I haven't had orders as yet. I will, for that I am sure..... Maybe some looking at the train set later, my somewhat impulsive design process has left a bit of a scenic conundrum, with a compromise of some sort needed to 'lose' the climbing running line behind, and lower than, the exchange sidings. Oh. There was no other way to fit the already too sharp curves in! O is big. 17 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold 81C Posted November 23, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 23, 2019 Morning All Wet and yuk here Thanks for the comments on the dog I can only hope my daughter and SiL will take note and start calming him down I think some of it was he got bitten at Doggie Day Care last week and wants revenge because he was muzzled there and couldn't fight back. Well the week-end is here I suppose I'd better get on with some housework I did want to clean the car out there is a pong in the boot I would have liked to have aired it out and hoover the carpets I might wander to Horrorsons for some fabreeze stuff and make do with that till we get a dry day. Enjoy your week-end and the Warley stampede Ivor Plann 14 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold grandadbob Posted November 23, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 23, 2019 Charity shop visited but had to go round the block 3 times before I could park. Once more and it was going to the dump. The Boss said earlier "Do you think you could have a look at the oven?" I did and said "It looks just the same as it did yesterday" knowing full well that it was Bosspeak for "The oven needs cleaning." Brownie points always come in useful so Oven Mate has been applied and I'm waiting for it to do its stuff. Not sure if l'll get up to loft now. Oh dear, never mind. 3 14 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium PhilJ W Posted November 23, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 23, 2019 (edited) Morning all from Estuary-Land. A bit late on parade this morning due to Railway Bylines dropping onto the mat earlier this morning. Its now under new ownership (but the same editorial staff). New broom and all that the first change is that instead of the plastic wrapper it came in a plain brown envelope . The other change is an additional centre section devoted to model railways. I usually receive the WFA in early December, and the letter informing me that I am about to receive it about two weeks later. I will be at Warley tomorrow and I have marked on the plan were to find the ER's who are participating in the show and will be popping along to say hello.

RMweb Gold Tony_S Posted November 23, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 23, 2019 Morning all. Sunny here. I hope those travelling to (or already there) enjoy the exhibition at the NEC. Our neighbours are coming round for a meal this evening so I have said I will tidy up the lounge. That won’t take long. Tony 17 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The tidying, dusting polishing etc didn’t really take long but sorting out the music took longer. I would do a bit of housework and then go and glare at my pc which kept hanging and refusing to upload to iTunes so I could connect to my iPad. Sorted the problem, finished the housework and Aditi decided we should go for a walk, so we did. Should I now wish to connect the iPad to listen to music on the lounge stereo in future when dusting I can do so. Also Aditi decided we are going to keep the downstairs loo theme for the foreseeable future as it is so I have ordered some taps that look OK. She was impressed that I found the on off valve for the hot water supply. It is all different after the new boiler was installed a couple of years ago.

RMweb Premium PhilJ W Posted November 23, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 23, 2019 Afternoon all from Estuary-Land. Getting stuff ready for Warley tomorrow, got a list, well two lists actually of the exhibitors, one by stand order and one alphabetical, sixteen pages in all. Only problem is the plan I have is squeezed onto an A4 sheet and I need a magnifying glass to read. 14 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Popular Post Happy Hippo Posted November 23, 2019 RMweb Gold Popular Post Share Posted November 23, 2019 Today's Heljan announcement of a 7mm scale 2251 has thrown a rather large spanner into the HH forward planning department. It looks as if my 'original' plan of something based on the B&M in the Rhymney valley might be back on the cards. As soon as I finish this urgent dispatch, it's back to the drawing board for a hastily re-written history for the GOG small layout entry currently in build....... although the loco will not appear until after the entry has been built. (I am capable of forward planning and lower cunning than Vipera berus.) Improvise, adapt and overcome. I can already see an extension to current plan which will put in a very nice reverse curve. All I need is a damned long shed................................... Ah now where is that Hunt fellow.... He has one! 11 2 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold grandadbob Posted November 23, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 23, 2019 Oven now fairly clean although not quite to my usual standards but (most importantly) The Boss is happy. Also managed to watch and enjoy 3 rugby matches. Others have been and are being recorded for later but at the moment some dancing is being watched (not by me) on the big TV. Bangers & Mash were on the menu tonight preceded by Proper Job and accompanied and followed by Sainsbury's House Shiraz. Some more following will be done shortly. 16 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
