Uncouted costs and grey hairs after beginning I finally ran my first fully digital train yesterday!

Thanks to help from here I fitted the decoder myself, it was nerve wracking but worked in the end. I was slightly annoyed to find that my Lenz Compact only let me alter 7 CV's, even on the programme track. If anyone knows a way round this I would love to know as I was hoping to do some more tweaking to the CT chip I put in.

I am going to be pretty busy this week as I have to get the Van ready for our holiday next week so I probably wont get any pictures until nearer the end of the month. The trackwork on the throat board is now finished and painted, just have to wire in and fix the point motors.

So I'll sign off til later by saying thanks to those who have offered their help and advice that's got me this far.
