Monday night saw me at the hobby table putting the cover brick paper on the terrace front walls. After that the week went to pot! No MERG kit # 2 and no further work on the terraces. However Tuesday saw the arrival of the order from Austrains that my mate PK and I went into halves on. Some NSWGR CWs, a PV and a few CVs. I put them on the layout today to see how they rolled and they appeared to run fine. One thing to keep an eye on is I think they have low profile flanges so when they went over a crossing frog they appeared to drop momentarily so the flange wasn't running on the base of the frog.
The other pleasant surprise was that I received the Raspberry Pi computer board in the mail on Friday. I wasn't expecting this until sometime in July or August. Now I just have to get the thing working so that I can attempt installing JMRI (for linux) onto it and then connect up to the layout to see how it functions as the 'nerve centre'. It has been awhile since I have tinkered with Linux!
The other thing done was that this morning I took the family on our annual Steam Train Sunday excursion. We went out via Sherwood and back to Roma St via the Exhibition line. Lovely day for it and always a nice thing to do.

Sounds like an article on how to setup the Mulberry to run Decoder Pro ;o) Will be following with bated breath.
ReplyDeleteOh, and those PV's, CV's and CW's run for ever with just a tiny push - nice wagons indeed.
