No it's not. Electronic components have got smaller, less boffins are needed, and the ESP-32 version of DCC-EX is even smaller than this!

A number of years ago, when I was involved with the admin for the Missenden courses, Tim Shackleton and I revamped the website (which has been done again since then). One of the areas we tried very hard to encourage people to was electronics and to do this, Tim put some figures on MERG components, and a controller. These are Tim's pictures which we used on the website and for some of our publicity.

And a number of years before that, Chevrolet Motors Canada beat you to it!

Here's how, according to the maintenance manual, to set the voltage regulator on a WW2 CMP (Canadian Military Pattern) series truck:

I did a similar thing in our office at work - It was a raised flooring in the office for all the networking. One of the floor supports collapsed and the facilities people came in to "fix" the floor took up several panels and left it cordoned off. It was left like that for at least a week. So one day I got in early and placed a new work force on the job complete with abseiling Stormtroopers. Never told anyone who it was and just sat back and watched how long it was before they were noticed. It caused quite a bit of amusement for at least a week or so - I still don't think they ever figured out did it.

Took the wife to “the taste of old Bengal” the local upmarket “Indian eatery” halfway through the main the suited waiter came to the table and in Anglo Indian said “curry OK”. I nodded, swallowed, and replied If you wait to the end of the meal I will give”Sweet Caroline” a go………………

Why do scuba divers fall backwards into the water?

Because if they fell forwards they’d still be in the boat.

Stolen Borrowed from my socials, again.

A man walked up to a librarian and asked "Do you have anything on Pavlov's dog or Schrodinger's cat?".
The librarian replied "It rings a bell, but I'm not sure if it's here or not".

If we're going for the biggest groan, how do you describe two rows of cabbages? A dual cabbageway.

Shamelessly lifted from an old Rag Mag I found when having a clear out. Other contributions were definitely not PC these days!

Did you hear the one about the blind cyclops brothers?

Neither have I

Can we have one of the others and why are you using my initials to describe them ?
