#hobbyStreak 162. The lead for these weights still says Eileen’s Emporium on the bottom. I moved from England in 2001, so that sheet was at least 25 years old! Also assembled the truss rods. #modelRailway #modelRailroad
Crumbs, these are tiny. I anticipate @snaptophobic levels of patience will be needed. These are brass wheel bearings for N gauge that I want to try on my various 1:120 3d printed chassis to try to reduce rolling friction. And induce eyestrain and hypertension. #ModelRailway
#hobbyStreak 161. Installed 16 corner steps and fixed some pulling loops that broke during support cleaning. #modelRailway #modelRailroad

No pictures because… frustration.

I finished re-mapping all my DCC sensor boards and points and updated JMRI so that it has all the new references, and so the old references are deleted. I think I might have two or three point sensors back to front still, but I’ll work that out next time.

After a very long and frustrating evening testing LocoNet cables for faults, and LocoNet boards for faults, and making new cables, and testing those, and going round in circles… I finally worked out that my LocoNet boards are picky about the order they physically appear on the network 😡 (the DCC command station has three network ports on it, they’re all in use, and two have multiple devices connected in an essentially random order).

Yeah. Go figure. Who knows, there might be a reason. But I’m not thinking about it tonight.

Bought this as a novelty at a local show a year ago. I’ve finally found a UK supplier of replacement gears/wheels to make it work properly! Exciting. #ModelRailway
