Weirdly warm.... Local train doing the rounds....

 

[duncan1_9_8_4]

Nice autumnal day for a short train....

 

[duncan1_9_8_4]

Another nice day for the trains....

My only locomotive at wagon that's allowed out in the rain....

 

[duncan1_9_8_4]

Hmmmmm. No traffic today....

Love Nigel, he is obviously the one in charge there.
My old mate" looked and acted almost the same, he had a sort of aristocratic attitude about him.

A little light maintenance. Platform edge removal to replace the last fishplate with a rail clamp, which has also brought the resting current down to under 25 in the circuit. Result. Next, to put power into the circuit at a few different locations, but guess what. It's just started raining. Again.

25A? Seems a bit high

25A? Seems a bit high

Sorry, I meant 0.25....

I can imagine lying on that sofa, on a nice day, watching trains trundle through that beautiful garden.

Boring winter work. The power supply upgrade. The process of adding more feeder wires from the CS3 into more places on the layout. For years it has been fed from one wire to the track. Now there are to be four, around the layout.

Nice work on the cabling, perhaps you could tech few of the sparks I meet a few lessons

Don’t the brass rail clamps take power to all areas ? Preserving electrical continuity?

Yes, and no..
They are subject to the vagaries of weather (damp, hence corrosion) and movement (thermal expansion) so can deteriorate over time.

Extra feeds, are belt and braces..
Gives you a longer period before track continuity problems force you to perform maintenance.

You can never have too many wires out there! 200 of the low voltage ones come together here in perfect harmony, next to my controls drawer
