isitafox Posted January 3, 2010 Report Share Posted January 3, 2010 What a glorious sunny Sunday morning. After braving the icey roads I'm now sat in my signal box doin absolutely nothing! Not only is it the quietest day of the week anyway, all my points are frozen up so no trains running through here in a hurry. May as well have a browse on tarty and plan my new wheel build for ordering tomorrow! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dave85 Posted January 3, 2010 Report Share Posted January 3, 2010 I thought they replaced your job with computers years ago? Even in a power 'box, you still need to swallow a book of rules the size of the bible to tell the computer what's wanted and check it isnt making a cock up. Likely he's in a manual box if he's got time and privacy to bugger about on tarty Bloody frozen points, I spent most of yesterday clearing snow from them, then got back on a nice warm footplate and all the snow on my cap and coat melts and went down neck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
