Which apparent rudeness, being blindingly obvious, gave rise to the expression: "That's a load of nobrainium." :wave:

The way that windows handles USB and comm ports is a kludge. Firstly, in the days of serial ports, ports 1 and 3 and ports 2 and 4 shared the same interrupts. USB can emulate serial, but it's a pain. Suggestions: If you have a USB (edit did I really write serial?) mouse - replace with a ps/2...

What about us Brits? OK - here goes: I hereby swear upon my most solemn oath - never to wear a red coat.:mrgreen: It's a lovely morning here. I missed yesterday - migraine all day - ouch. Playing catch-up now. Catch you all later. :wave:

Best wishes, Mountain Man. Sounds interesting. I'd like to hear more - but rest those eyes up first.:thumb: :wave:

Just a thought. I have noticed lots of comments about lack of bass, especially for diesels. A friend who dabbles in electronics suggests using a low-pass filter followed by amplification. The filter could be electronic or acoustic. The amplifier could be a single chip. Low-pass filter -...

I feel your pain - t. No, but seriously, it's horrible when such things happen. I do hope it cleans up well. At least it was diluted. Keep your chin up, Bud. :wave:

Scott, your layout reminded me of Sheerness steel works. The steel works has some very tight curves, and lots of sidings in a very small area. They convert scrap into rolls of wire, which is shipped out on special wagons. There's some pictures here: Sheerness Steel Works For the best view...

Yes, its already posted, but thank you anyway.:thumb: Please see this thread: http://forum.zealot.com/t159841/#post831602 :wave:

And I thought that, for such creativity, you had to stay sober.:rolleyes: Greetings all. A very hot day here, so I attacked the garden (garden? weed-plot!) with shears. I'm putting up a shelf over my workbench, so I can reach paints, small tools etc. without exerting myself. (Not that I ever...

I wouldn't take any bets on that. sign1 Seriously: I think it's a good, uncluttered layout with a hint of the shunting puzzle. Nice.:thumb:

It's perfectly good English. Analogies: palladium, selenium, aluminium, newbrainium. More such craziness in its own thread, so as not to highjack perfectly good threads. (Well, not too much, anyhow.):rolleyes: http://forum.zealot.com/t159578/#post829463 :wave:

All vehicles, land, sea or air, acheive 0.00 mpg when stationary. In fact, if you roll back on a slope you can actually get negative mpg for that short time. When a vehicle moves from 0 to 1 mph it used more fuel than in going from 1 to 2 mph. There's a thing called stiction, which most...

Ralph: it looks a lot more than just 'fine'.:thumb: If you don't want to use leds, try a reflector, spaced about 1/4 inch behind the window. A piece of card or plastic covered with cooking foil does the trick nicely. (I've been using Mr. Webster's spellings here, going along with the...

All my bits and kits are OO/1:76, so I have to scratch build a layout to go with this brand new HO scale De Witt Clinton. I'll start a build thread in a few weeks, hopefully.

Thanks, Tim.:thumb: Pintel-"Parley? Damn to the depths whatever man thought of 'Parley'!" Cpt. Jack-"That would be the French!" :wave:

Ooops! Most forgetful of me, sorry.:oops::inmew::v8: Happy birthday, Chief! :band1:steamtrain:wave7:

Greetings, all. Having been caught out in a light jacket in rainy weather, I wore a heavier rainproof one today to go into town. Yup! Bucketfuls of sunshine.sign1 I just received a delivery of Bachmann HO loco + coaches. I'll start a new layout thread soon. For now, it can be revealed...

Greetings, all. The weather forecast for my area of UK was 'hot and sunny', so, quite naturally, we've had two days of heavy rain, light rain and intermittent showers.:mrgreen: I finally built a hobby bench - take one old formica-covered sheet of ply from a skip, add under-rails and legs, and...
