Sunday on Shed

I am running a series of photos every Sunday that were taken

in my trainspotting days.

The Ian Allan spotting books are dated

1979-1983

All the photos were taken during these dates.

I reckon i have something close to 200 photos here, all taken in the Corporate blue period from all over the country. The idea is to post One, maybe Two photos depending on what mood i am in. 

There is allsorts, some with trains, some just looking down the line, some out of focus, some to dark, some to light, some you may ask yourself, 'what the hell' Some i don't know exact dates, some i don't know numbers but they are all going to get posted.

I ASK ONE THING

   You are welcome to use the photos but it would be nice if you would copy the link or give some credit to the guy that took em. ie ME Colin Lockyer and/or THIS BLOG.

Exton Quays and signals

A new milestone was reached last night.

Exton Quays has a Signal.

This has been lurking in my 'to do' draw for some time, an MSE Lswr lattice post signal kit.

They are a bit fiddly to build but they are impressive and make up into a superb looking signal.

It is connected to a digital servo and a Heathcote Electronics control module with 'bounce'. They have a row of buttons on the module to control speed, level of movement up or down, and amount of 'bounce'. All you need is an on/off switch and a 9V power supply.

A word of warning here, make sure you limit the amount of movement on the servo before connecting the signal wire, nasty things can happen.

Yes, a video for you.
