The Lyn lives on after the Zimo chip decided to fry some of the internal 'electricary' of it. The garden foliage is also coming on a treat. The Lyn now has sound too, and completely re-wired by PS models!

Glorious day today, a few trains are out, and the garden is looking good.

A new feature for the garden, I have put it next to where the garden electrickery is, so that I can get some 240 bulbs in it to light up all four aspects when the railway is switched on. Its also had a good wash after been under the PSB for a few years. Sheffield PSB switches out for good on Saturday too, if anyone is interested. It will be a sad day.

Something else that has been bugging me is the upvc trim than retains the ballast on the loop area. It is a little too low, meaning the track has to be screwed down to keep it low enough. So, I have been to my secret rock stash, (at Ledsham, just outside Pontefract)........ to make the retaining higher and look more natural, which will also allow the track to be un-screwed and find its natural level.

Good point! That would require a form filling out! Get me an RT3185.

You need some way of sequencing the lights?

Green, double amber, single amber, red and back to green....

I would love to do that, if they could change aspects every ten mins etc. Me and electrics are shall we say, basic.

Must be some timer circuits available from a local Maplins.

Maybe something like this....

Been a really hot afternoon in the garden, with some live steam action.

A new Loco for the railway. I just need some Feldbahn stock to run with it now, which I begrudge paying so much for but........ Anyway, for a four wheel loco, it runs amazingly over points, much better than my other four wheelers with longer wheel bases.
