The Water Cooler / Re: usb stick
« Last post by vtsteam on March 02, 2026, 09:22:02 PM »
Yes, probably. But I use Linux so not sure how to do it from Win. If you have one writeable USB drive, you could possibly put a Puppy Linux or EasyOS on that, reboot to it, and then use the program gparted in them to reformat the others.

If that doesn't work a disk imaging program should be able to put a new image on it. EasyDD does that in Linux. Once re-imaged you should be able to run Gparted on it and reformat to any type of disk. Probably FAT32 to keep compatible with most thumbdrives.

Yep, it's back.

Not due to my efforts! It just fixed itself!

Apologies, I was busy all weekend & didn't even realise it was down....

I'll try to keep a closer eye on it!

The first train over. In the last picture I posted the embankment in the background is a BR line to Honiton and Axminster so the big train passengers can see the little trains.

Update ten years on - eek
Today we ran the full loop for the first time for the public. The track build was in progress during lockdown with plenty of volunteers to be the 4 allowed to gather at that time. We gradually extended the track and run every 1st Sunday of the month for the public and at other events to raise funds.
The lower end of the site needed a gradually increasing embankment until we had to go for a viaduct. Lots of expensive concrete and bricks then safety barriers meant a bit of a delay to get the money and do the work.
At last we have a full circle and take the public right round.
Can't get pictures to load at the moment.
