    Henley: 1875. The dreaded Loch Ness Monster has been vanquished from this fair isle, having threatened to put everyone on permanent Lock Down. Or has she been replaced by a new, deadlier, variant?

    I really liked the drummers. The pipers aren't favorites. But I still enjoy the shows and music. There's no need for DCC to control trains that meet. Many years ago we made our own controllers. A sensor on the main line would detect a train and shut down the last section before the crossover on the secondary line. And restart it after the main line cleared.

    Don't ask me how it's done. I only knew how to build it and do the soldering. I think I would consider DCC or necessary controllers for DC now.

    I also looked at the YouTube video about making cars move on the highway with a magnet chain under the surface. Haven't seen anymore of the in surface wire type (similar to T rails) for some time. I wondered if the jerky motion was caused by the chain drive systems. The one shown looks to be shaking as well.

    Have a nice day. I'll be working on the electrical system on my new electric bicycle. Will the LEDs work right? Especially the turn signals.
