when running the load_root_file.py example the error messages below appear if the computer is not
connected to the network. The problem also occurs on the simulate_mice.py example even when the
geometry does not include the TOF. It also appears in the older version, although I am sure I have
run the older code on the train without this problem. Is this expected or is there a work round
