DCC; learning curve not leveling off yet

Well, I eventually got out to the shed in the weekend. one short job was to reprogram a couple of the chips. when I first had a play with them I set levels for acceleration and deceleration. While this was nice on the short track, on the layout it had a few problems. The Ed's don't pick up from a particularly long wheelbase and so stall from time to time. Now, if muggins sets the acceleration rate, when the power is interrupted the speed resets and starts again (this is why you need stay alive in sound equipped locos). This is not ideal at all, so I reset the acceleration rates to zero, but left the deceleration rates. This has solved most of the Ed running problems.

I was also using the digital camera to investigate some of the track work problems that I have found. I then realised that i could try to take some low angle shots of the locos.

'Hmmm, wiggly...'

Hmm, it does look like crap at the moment up close. If you think your models look bad, here is real life warts and all

Readers will have also noticed that now if you click on a picture for a bigger view it goes to a separate slide show. No, I don't have any idea how or when it happened, or how to change it, so it's staying for the moment.
