I reckon Barry has just reposted an old photo from 2023 to make it look like he's been busy. ;)

I can honestly say none of the lights were working this morning - and have not been for some months. The lights on Manydown Station still do not work - it is possible I put 12v through a 3v system :(.

I have also got low track voltage on a 3-way point that leads into the fiddle yard, that was installed and ballasted back in 2014 - so some trackwork may be required. I did use fuse wire to do the re-wire conversion recommended by Peco, and did wonder whether wet ballast may have led to rust on these two pieces of wire?

The lights are now back on at Manydown Station and the signal box. So lighting wise everything is back to where it was pre-replacement window installation. Hopefully I can now get back to some modelling and running trains.

Thanks Brian. Hopefully I can now get on with painting figures, and have a go at making trees etc.

Look forward to seeing your trees. Don’t have a lot of luck with them.
