Fit in? Why? Being myself is so much more fun! ADHD is my superpower. I possess an obscure sense of humour, will happily string song lyrics together in answers to questions, and can’t resist a challenge (the harder the better). Sprint triathlon? Done. Half marathon? Done. Vatternrundan? Um, yeah, unfinished business (223km). Enjoy the outdoors. Left leaning, LGBTQIA allay in training, anti-AI. My spirit animal is an Orangutan crossed with an Octopus. An Ooktopus, if you will.

This afternoon I finally finished properly educating myself on the subject of DCC addressing with respect to sensors, and specifically how sensor boards work on LocoNet - and that block occupancy seniors occupy the same addressable space as, say, point feedback sensors.
Now that probably seems obvious but what wasn’t obvious to me was how YaMoRC sensors get their LocoNet ID - just subtract 1 from the first address and then divide by 16 and add 1. Took a bit of experimentation but now I have six IDs for Digitrax boards and four for YaMoRC boards, with no overlapping addresses 🤦🏻 and space for growth (that I almost definitely don’t need).
Now I’m just writing up documentation before I reconfigure JMRI. It’s a big step forward even though it doesn’t look like one.

Last night I designed all the subframes for the middle platform and today, before the migraine hit, I finished printing them.
I’m using a coach to check clearances. Bought from Alexandra Palace about three years ago I assumed it was a Hornby restaurant car because it was in a Hornby box. Turns out it’s a Bachmann, and the only thing wrong with it is a couple of floating passengers inside. Win!

Been installing ground signals on the layout this lunchtime. 8mm hole in the baseboard, ground signal from DCC Concepts in a 3D printed mount drops in (snug fit), all I have to do is run a cable to the signalling control board and do a spot of simple (for now) programming.
