General Discussion / Re: World Sleep Day and Caledo...Last post by Newportnobby - Yesterday at 10:28:47 AMSorry, but to me this is a load of codswallop.
If I even try to watch snooker on the telly within minutes I'm in the Land of Nod Likewise, listening to the likes of Andy Murray or Nigel Mansell talking has the same effect My parents used to have a grandfather clock with a very sleep inducing tick which soon had me pushing out the zzzzz's, usually after a great Sunday roast #12

N Gauge Discussion / Re: what are people doing on t...Last post by Platy767 - Yesterday at 04:47:52 AMI started to consider starting some decoration of the train set and began wielding the PVA bottle. A little too enthusiastically unfortunately. I got glue in a couple of Tomix points, and even after some frantic (comical) attempts the clean up, it looked like there was a single gummed up failure.
Thinking, "I can't make it any worse" I unpinned etc and lifted the point. If nothing else, there would be pictures of the switching going on inside, no details of which had I been able to find. Picture of the underside: ![]() 5 screws out and cover off: ![]() Point motor removed to give access to the actuator: ![]() I carefully removed the actuator and the 2 contacts, recovered and replaced one of the 2 little coil springs, and cleaned the gum off the actuator and point motor as best I could. Put all the gubbins back together and it worked! Happy days. Mark #15
