Afternoon all Thanks for the kind words about the photos - looks as though I have to take photos in daylight from now on! Still waiting for assorted components, though hopefully they'll turn up at the end of the week. We've had a little more snow, though not much - came home over the mountain road today and stopped to help herd some sheep - they were all over the road so I trundled along behind the farmer's truck with my hazard flashers going - trying to give anyone coming up behind a little advance warning. Interesting convoy - quad bike, followed by sheep, followed by farm Land Rover, followed by me in Disco! Capt_Turk, LGB are designed to run one around 20V I think - www.lgb.com and search their knowledge database would be the best source for this info. Good to have another G scaler on board, as well as my HO I have a small collection of LGB - starter set with one of their little "Stainz" 0-4-0s, ZIllertalbahn 0-6-2 tank loco, and around 12 cars. Luckily there's only a few items in their catalogue I like the look of - those were expensive enough! Welcome to all the new people, this seems a good place to hang out - kind of the social part of the virtual RR club I guess. Currently watching "Bahn TV" - German channel (Lupo may be able to get it?), found free to air on Astra 1b satellite, basically it's running footage of German (and sometimes other) rail operations with the occasional special programme or news report. Great for figuring out suitable train formations, and they often have some very interesting old electrics - recently a tour using the Swiss "Crocodile" rod-drive units, which become strangely hypnotic after a while - think it's something to do with the movement of the rods! Bye for now
