Great to see some activity again. A great project. You have been missed.
Charlie

Great project, looking forward to the progress.

Some progress pics from the latest week:

How about an LED to simulate the fire under the boiler?

That is great
There are flicker LED intended for the firebox in steam engines. That should work fine.

I'm sorry, but as a result of Trump's toll barriers, all my pictures are temporarily blocked from viewing here at Big Blue.

I have been hoping for an update but instead I find a disappointing post. I am sorry your pictures are no longer visible but I don't think Trump has anything to do with it.

I'm afraid Trump has everything to do with it, I would never block Big Blue from viewing my pics if Trump didn't create that toll barrier to Norway.

This is my decision, I have all my pics stored on my own location/domain.

I have never intended to include anyone in a "political spat" as you call it, and btw, what "friends" are you talking about?

As Charlie B has decided to delete the content of his latest posts, I can only hope that we may continue this thread without any more distractions, and hopefully all pics will be visible again soon.

Ralph: I have sent you 2 PMs, but they seem to be stuck in my Outbox...

I received them. Thank you for the heads up. I hope you received my replies as well.

While some may feel, even with good reason, that Mr. Trump's policies are ill-conceived, I don't think that we should allow it to come between us or our common interests. I'm not suggesting that we hide our heads in the sand like an ostrich (they don't really do that, anyway), but model railroading, in all its varied forms, is an escape, where we control our own little piece of the world.

If something bothers us in the real world, there are better means and venues for expressing our position, and ones where the source of our ire can be addressed much more directly. Write a letter, send an e-mail, hit the street in a protest march...even if it doesn't have the effect you hoped, it will be better than having a negative effect here.

I'll talk politics with friends, whether we agree or not, but politicians and their ilk and talk of their machinations have no place in my train room. My place, my train room, my rules!!...unless my wife says otherwise

I hope that we'll be seeing your photos again soon.
