Once I get broadband set up at home (my uni account will cease at some point soon), I'll be joining the ranks of the evening and weekend mob on here....
Night Train said:Well done Arch. You will soon be too busy earning money to do anything else, like some of the rest of us.
We should look at steam engines again if you like, sometime before you are too busy.
I met a chap the other day that you would probably get on with. I bought an engineering lathe off him.
He had a Dutch barge in his front garden that he was renovating. It was sitting next to his machine shop shed. To the side of the barge was a semaphore signal and to the front of the barge was one of two signal boxes. There were a further three signals in the garden and another three or four sheds. One shed had a model railway layout in it at O gauge and the signals and points on it, I think, were operated from a set of real signal levers. His house and sheds seemed to be linked with railway telephones.
