Having stayed in 3 Premier Inns in the last 2 weeks (Dumbarton, Dunfermline and Cirencester) they appear to have revamped and standardized their rooms so they're all the same, and the ones I stayed at didn't have pubs next door but had their own in house restaurant called 'The Social'. Evening meals and breakfast menus at all 3 were the same.

a length of string to extend the pull switch cord.

No such thing as a pull cord
Small rocker switch to the left of each bedside lamp out of reach if you want to be prone and turn the lamp on or off

Pictorial evidence of the switch........



And while I'm at it, Premier Inn give the option of turning the bathroom into a disco with purple lighting. Apologies for the first pic and the system has turned it on it's side but this was Dunfermline on 7th May........



I thought that was weird until I was in Cirencester Premier Inn last Friday for a wedding the next day and, sure enough...............



What the heck is that about??  

I've posted a very short video clip on YouTube at https://youtu.be/oj-AnbeDfqw?si=4ebTe1SZHXe5aMMy
It shows that I've been working to complete the capability for trains to cancel a signal after they have passed.
On my layout, The signals are set by sensing the points being activated. A Hall effect sensor then lies in the track just after the relevant signal and resets the signal to danger after a short pause by sensing a magnet under the last coach or the guard's van. Took a while to do, but I'm there at last!

No idea - just total radio silence. The website and domain is still up and running, so someone must be paying for it but no other news. I gather some people lent Luke and Kylie models for making vinyl templates and have not had these returned, which is not good.

Good man. Something I always recommend (much to the amusement of others)

Quote from: NTrain on May 17, 2026, 02:42:31 AMN-Train is still available.

I have slowed down my opperation, with kits available to order on 28 days despatch from receipt of payment. Just no vinyls available.

Electra and N-Train co-operated, but were seperate entities.

I guess that means you haven't been able to contact them either?

I'm currently putting a short "fence" around the perimeter of my third layout to reduce the likelihood of stock tumbling to the floor. No track laid or scenic features yet.

 
Progress, as always, is exceedingly slow.

N-Train is still available.
