  4. Last year or the year before we were passing the location of the buoy at Ansty and it had gone, wow we thought, they got round to sorting it! A couple of miles further along we came upon a couple of CRT lads dragging it back in the direction it had come from
  5. I would use a breathable paint for preference - waterproof paints can trap moisture behind as well as preventing ingress Something like Sadolin Superdec.

  8. The buoy at Ansty marks (I understand) the stump of a tree which grew in the bank, and would be problematic to remove without rebuilding the canal bank. I assume you mean Hillmorton locks as there's only a single stop lock at Hawkesbury. Hillmorton locks are busy, and often suffer minor break downs, but of all lock flights, Hillmorton seems in my experience to have repair work carried out fairly speedily. Rog

  10. 12 v goes into the Heatmiser switch on A1 and then the switch puts the 12v through to the A2 connection. Once the steam laptop powers up I will put the heatmiser manual up
  11. Not sure that using an overhead electric line and trolley pole, with its potential for arcing, is the best solution to a gas explosion risk! It would appear that the overhead line is merely a signal cable and as such would be very low voltage and not prone to arcing.
  12. Slightly tangental to your query, if you're worried about wet decks and/or doormats, have you thought of something like DriDek matting? I have this in my cratch, gas locker and on the steerer's step - rain or spills drain away underneath it leaving you to stand on a dry and thermally insulated surface at all times. Not cheap, but very effective, good looking and long lasting - similar solutions by other brands and cheaper knock-offs are available.
  13. Manchester as any fool knows is a dump. The missus and I used to run a pub in Failsworth on holiday relief a few years ago, we wore crash helmets behind the bar 😉 running a pub in such places is not for the faint hearted lol.
  14. There is an orange buoy further up on the offside bank, just by the Anstey Hall Hotel area , there maybe comments or thinking this relates to that buoy perhaps rather than one apparently removed four years ago? In fairness the yellow bag remains over the top lock lower paddle on the Hawkesbury flight and that is three years now unless its been sorted very recently. Its a good time as its relatively quiet just now (Accepting there are two locks anyway of course!) Surely that can be fixed sometime soon?

  16. The one I've seen have been plywood. Painted, or varnished. They seem fine after many years. Perhaps their owners don't shower? I have a small bath tub on board, which makes an excellent coal bunker!
  17. Confirm that this works on Webasto models that don't use Wbus communications between accessories. Thermotop C are fine, but the Evo uses wbus.
  18. Today
  19. The black to 12V switches a Thermo 90 on and off - from the Installation Instructions.
  20. Hi Colin, do you have a wiring diagram for the Webasto. I shall have a look later for a softcopy and send it over
  21. That obstruction and buoy was removed about four years ago, along with work being done on improving drains under the towpath to assist moving ground water, and stone filled gabions added to try and stabilise the bank. If you examine the photo of 1910 , movement can already be seen and at a time when there were few trees. It is a wet bank, made wetter by horrendous rain this winter. Without the budgets for maintenance , and workforce the railways enjoy (being a commercial enterprise not leisure based) it's hard to see what more can be done. Rog
  22. Hi there please help, all I want is to switch the heater on or off I have 2 reds that go to + and A1 these are linked have a black going toA2 and a brown going to — if I just wanted a on off switch what would I need to do? what wire needs to be joined etc

  25. That's the one we always use, batteries, old cauliflowers, scrap piping, scrap cables, scrap water pumps etc. Nothing metal goes in the bins.
