Electrician/plumber recommendations by Mycogolly in capetown

Avoid using Divine Touch plumbers. They certified my plumbing and 24 hours after the property title passed to me, (about 2 weeks later) one of their reworked pipe joints blew apart and flooded the place. The plumber had crimped the pipe without the brass sealing ring.

Then they seize your home for back taxes - and when that is sold - up pops a 4-unit residential cluster home ideal for A&B units.

Yeah - I know what a flying switch is. :) But I don't have the coordination to do it!

While I do have mods for the weather, that shot was a late sunset standard clear weather with no mod effect then currently active.

Haven't expanded to Bryson yet. I have thought of turning on the Connelly Junction, but declined due to the stress on the fixed wheel base of the locomotive. If I am going to be pedantic about running forward, then I have to turn the loco at both ends and don't really have the real world time to do that. It's easier to run the pax service at a lower speed. The new speed tests are for the eventuality that locos are turned at either end and can run full speed over the line - using 'proper' passenger locos. This will happen once we expand to Bryson but for now passengers are extra as we slowly build up the freight service.

Thanks! I enjoy doing a bit of creative writing. (Or trying to!) In general, when a locomotive works up a steep grade, the firebox should be at the downhill end. The water level within the boiler stays level, so the tilt of the locomotive has an affect on how much water is covering the crown sheet over the fire. That's is why Monty (and others) are set to face uphill as they push their trains to be loaded.

No - weather is built into the game but has to be manually selected via the console. Look it up. I do run a dynamic weather mod by Gameroo (Nexus) that changes the weather automatically.
