I do like it - it's another cameo of our history


But the old Bedford is a long way from home

 

[casey jones snr]

Is that "Pillbox" slowly subsiding?

 

[mike]

Yes..

 

[Zerogee]

Interesting - I always assumed some form of rectifier would be needed to sort out the virtual AC current.Presumably the diode action of the LED does the job and it is powered by half rectified current.
So LED lighting in coaches should be simple!

Yes, I recall a lot of discussion about this a few months back when I was looking at the LED lighting in my Steffen Otto-built "Baby T1" railcar..... several folks said that the reverse voltage would damage/destroy the LEDs, but it doesn't actually seem to do them any harm.....

Progress on the new signal box is on going...e10 out with the pudding . .I carnt say how meny puddings were out. but I can say I counted them all out and I counted them all in

 

[PhilP]

Well...
If you counted them out, and you counted them in....
Divide by two, and you have your answer!
(eight, by the way..) - Which is just WRONG!!!!!
Everybody knows it HAS to be an odd number!
