Jon’s modules – I hate wiring and a new train
Yes, I truly hate wiring. I finished wiring up the third module on Christmas Eve. It all seemed so straightforward. I got the basic feeds in place, and wired up the plug sockets at each end of the board. I … Continue reading

Jon’s modules – Progress?
It’s been a while (again) since I reported progress on my N-Club modules. And the main reason for this is that there has been little progress. A new central heating boiler and some tidying up meant that the loft room … Continue reading

Jon’s modules – Mojo coming back!
The mojo returneth (at least in part). After an interlude that included reading the first 400 pages of Bishop Tom Wright’s 1600 page magnum opus on Paul, lumberjacking a 40 foot pine tree in the garden, and clearing up after my … Continue reading
