A certain French man thought it was rather good. He'd a working model made locally, before fleeing for his life.

This evening's programme of Great Railway Journeys covered bit of Canada nearest to Alaska, the Yukons.
A nugget of an idea has started in my brainbox. Many years ago, I travelled across Canada by train from Toronto to Vancouver, then bus to Seattle, and onwards by train to Los Angeles. I would like to visit Canada again to see more of the Eastern Coast. I could then fly to Vancouver, and visit more of British Columbia. I did part of the journey north by train from Vancouver, but because of the very heavy rain threatening to wash away the railway, I only got as far as Lillouette, rather than the planned Prince Edward.
Somewhere north of Vancouver, I could go as far as possible by train, and then into Alaska. Juneau looked picturesque, and I have always the First Nation Heritage looks very interesting in that part of the world.
The first step is to renew my Passport. In the meantime, I have ordered a copy of Jack London's short stories, "To Build a Fire".

Found somewhere to stay in Downtown Juneau.
Has anyone on here used Air bnb? Are you expected to, and/or can you socialise with your hosts?

I had a problem with my road bike that I couldn’t fix myself (normally try to do everything myself) so took it to the LBS, not part of a chain, just one chap with a little shop in the village. He sells a lot of second hand bikes including vintage. He had one bike in there that was absolutely beautiful. It was a vintage Raleigh, brushed steel with brass components - integrated stem, chain set, brake levers, downtube gear levers, brake callipers - all in brass. Black frame. Unfortunately, it was a size small and I need a large/extra large. It was one of those bikes, that you’d buy no matter what your other half said. It was perfection.

I expect my first experience of Air bnb should be closer to home. I might try the New Forest.

Why not 24 volt?
Electrolux or Samsung?

It rather depends on the "Clever Stuff". Please pay attention!
@classic33: The "no name" solenoid valve cost less than £8 inc shipping. I like 12v DC because it's a convenient one for cobbled-together control circuits if they are not low-level logic ones. Clunky will do for cats.
