Lord knows why the lamps aren't working now!

Yesterday afternoon I was able to pop out to the shed and do a few things. The first was to test the circuit operating the incandescant lamps on the station platform and near the telephone box. These seemed to be the problem in last week's post. So I desoldered one of the wires from the first lamp's wiring from the veroboard and test the mini-panel connected switch. Red light! The second lamp's wiring was desoldered and another test. No red light. So one lamp was working OK. I resoldered the first lamp's wiring and tested. No red light. Yeah may have found the problem. A few more On/Off tests and the red light returned. No idea why this is occurring after so long working OK. This little setup might be a prime candidate for connection to the MERG CBUS modules I ordered on Friday. Yes I took the plunge to buy some modules to play on. The other thing I did was put some 'dirt' down over a PVA bed.

I did manage to progress with the Terrace Houses a bit more during the week.

Today was the Club's Buy and Sell and Open Day. I originally wasn't going due to a previous family shindig, but this was postponed until next weekend. I thought I might have been able to get down and give a hand, but not to be. A few things about the house got in the way and before I knew it 3pm had rocked around, which was the closing time for the buy and sell. So with a bit of time on my hands I went back to the shed to see how things were going with the 'dirt' I put down yesterday. It was still a bit damp as it wasn't a very hot day today. So I put a liberal coating of very wet PVA/water mix over the soil again and put some anti-static grass down with the aid of my home made ant-static machine. Looks quite good. The other thing I did was make a road into the goods yard.

This week I hope to get more into the Terrace House build.
