RMweb Gold john dew Posted April 7, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 7, 2016 Good Morning All So glad you got it sorted Phil. As I said before the big disadvantage living here, 8 hours behind, is that all the excitement happens when I am in bed .......let me rephrase that......asleep. Even when I am awake I am not much help.......I should have suggested checking the switch wiring yesterday afternoon That's what I do, cos I am too lazy to add two bits of wire. Must do a feasibility study into how much time it takes to solder two wires compared to how much time I spend on cleaning the blades over a points life time. Its also the time taken checking all the other possible sources of error before finally realising the switch blade contact has failed. In my experience it is definitely well worth the time soldering feeds to the stock rails......particularly now Peco pre gap the webbing.

RMweb Premium Siberian Snooper Posted April 7, 2016 RMweb Premium Share Posted April 7, 2016 Wasn't Perry that strange young fellow in that programme where the youth hated his parents....what was the bloke called that did that....you know, you don't want to do it like that, you want to do it like this.....? If so, no thanks, I'd rather be Cider. Philth. (P.S. the M7 still works and it shunts my really crapppy Triang/Hornby and Lima coaches back over without them falling off and that is really good news as it will be doing a move like that every so often on the 'real thing'. However it should have a PP Set ande some decent coaches to play with by then). Perry was actual played by a girl. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Blue Streak Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 (edited) Hello Phil, I'm Very Glad to see that you got your elektrix sorted. Sorry I was unable to contribute any useful advice regarding said elektrickery, but being an engine driver I am a bit thick and any advice I could have provided on the matter would have been totally useless and would have resulted in a fire. (I once messed about with a dodgy wire on a 1:1 scale loco and the end result was a lot of smoke coming out of the elektric panel, some 2 foot flames and the Loco stopping Dead) However I can contribute to a discussion of Wartime black Mallards, with a picture .......................................... F#$&ing Points !!!!!! Best Regards Perry Green !!!! Edited April 8, 2016 by The Blue Streak Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Mallard60022 Posted April 8, 2016 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted April 8, 2016 (edited) I am ME the famous one, Not the other Andie Peters from the Telly Well I'm glad you are not Valerie Singleton or, even worse, Shep (get down, you're making a noise). Last evening, whilst fitting further Microswitches, I realised I have another crossover that I have not yet tested. Then I thought that this should be easier as it relies on hand op and just two surface mounted Sub Microswitches and, in theory, should be half as much trouble for me to sort. Ummmmmmm! Anyway, my little track test meter arrived this morning; it is the Train Tech one. It has a little light; how cute. http://www.dccsupplies.com/item-p-105621/tt1-track-tester Thanks for the tip Colin.

RMweb Gold The Stationmaster Posted April 8, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 8, 2016 Born in St Budeaux, Bred in Peverall GREW up elsewhere. My great aunt and her offspring and their offspring lived in St Budeaux - with a view of both routes where they crossed each other west of the stations. Too far from their back garden to read Western engine numbers but alright for Southern engines if the numbers were clean enough. Mrs Stationmaster came from the other side of Plymouth - born in Plymstock, we married in St Judes Church by Plymouth Friary yard. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Small World the R M Web. Blimey, it is a small world A. Sadly you wouldn't have sampled the chippy just down the road from the Stadium then. You also would have missed this inspiring ditty that began " Come to Plymouth Stadium, see The Devils ride..." . I can remember that Speedway Bike smell and the lovely chips as well. Happy days. My great aunt and her offspring and their offspring lived in St Budeaux - with a view of both routes where they crossed each other west of the stations. Too far from their back garden to read Western engine numbers but alright for Southern engines if the numbers were clean enough. Mrs Stationmaster came from the other side of Plymouth - born in Plymstock, we married in St Judes Church by Plymouth Friary yard. My first lady friend came from Plymstock. They had some very nice ladies there as you discovered. That St Judes Church is impressive; never went in it. Friary was a lovely looking Station as well but shut before I got a chance to use it for service trains. I did catch a PRC Brake Van Special to Turnchapel from there though, can't remember the date. Seems like only a couple of years ago. OK back to wires and bits of things like that as it is getting very close to when I have to test with DCC due to the track isolations and the Juicers over the double Junctions.
