"We want someone like #JoeRogan but who cares about #science, #progress, & #democratic values."

OK so nothing like Joe Rogan?

In the last 3ish years, we've had #trans and now #progress #pride flags outside on our extremely visible but also surprisingly windy corner

In that time, we've gone through 3-4 flag poles thanks to bad #design and cheap construction

I kinda want to #diy this bc it can't be this hard

Design constraints:

- 3'x5' (1x1.5m) flag
- long dimension of flag parallel to the ground
- 6-8' (2-2.5m) tall
- very strong in bending (windy corner)
- weighted bottom rather than dug (ground is usually frozen, rocky or mud)
- not "ugly"

Naively, I'd stick an iron or PVC pipe in a bucket of cement, then mount the flag with rotating clips. But even painted, I can't claim this isn't "ugly".

The base needs to be smaller. How heavy/wide do I really need? How would I even measure the torque the wind is applying? I guess a spring scale and just pull the pole to about the same bending I see from the wind....?

Is there a flag pole design standard?

(I've seen the "RV style" and it's clever, but not quite the look I want.)

It’s not all finished, but it is finished enough that I can run trains! Here’s a short clip of two trains going through the station area from opposite directions. There’s a Class 37 and a Class 411 EMU. Enjoy.

I ran out of time this evening and in fact got at best about half of the wiring done. So you’ll have to make do with this still of a Bachmann EMU that came up the helix but couldn’t get further than platform 2 of the station.

Still to do: install seven point motors, wire those and another five up to the accessory controller, program their addresses, and wire up all the track beyond the station area. Oh, and I’ve run out of 16/02 wire so need to order more tomorrow morning.

And there it is, the main loop is now all installed. Here are a couple of shots looking towards the station area from each end. #ModelRailway #Progress #OOScaleLayout

It’s getting there. Most of the track on the left is just test fitted at the moment. By the end of Monday I hope to have all the track installed, decouplers temporarily wired up and working, and maybe enough wiring to run a train. At the moment if you stick your head under the baseboards there are a LOT of unconnected cables just hanging there…

A couple of photos of the chaos that is the model railway right now. All the pointwork on the left is permanently installed, two of the longer curves are not yet glued down, and I’ve started advancing across the centre of the baseboards which is where the station will be.

Tomorrow I’ll be installing three electromagnetic uncouplers, then more track bed, and then track.
