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!

Quote from: jmupton2000 on May 16, 2026, 09:00:59 PMDo we actually know what happened?  There has been radio silence from them for nearly two years.  What happened to the graphics produced for the N-Train range of Underground stock kits for example?
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.

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. :dunce:

Quote from: joe cassidy on May 16, 2026, 05:43:09 PMWhat I like about Premier Inns is that they normally come with a pub attached  :)

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.

Quote from: Newportnobby on May 16, 2026, 09:22:16 AMOh yes, the switch for the bedside light is so high up you have to sit up to reach it :unimpressed:

a length of string to extend the pull switch cord.

No such thing as a pull cord :no:
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
