Morning all, many thanks for your replies, I didn`t know about the UK model shop directory looks like a useful resource, I guess I`ll have to put in the mouse miles!

Rewind, a while back I wanted a Farish class 40 with the sound chip installed. It was a fairly limited release and hard to get hold of. After general searches on the internet proved unfruitful I started to visit various shop/dealer websites. This took nearly an hour of trawling...so how about a website listing all dealers like a directory and having the option to search their stock all in one place, thus saving considerable time, any one know of anything like this?

Hi , thank you for the replies, I,ll try the peco way and see how I get on,btw the layout is only 4 ft by 1 so not complicated. I suppose the thing that worries me most is that in dc if you get it wrong it doesn't,t work, but in Dcc if I get it wrong it could blow a not inexpensive decoder.Oh and yes I do have a fine tip s.iron Cheers all.

No doubt this has been covered many times before but I can not get any simple straight forward information on how to correctly wire a code 55 electro frog point for n gauge. The you tube videos are useless as they don't show enough detail, the information on Dcc websites rarely mentions code 55 electrfrog ponts and there is conflicting info, some say cut this rail others say don't cut just wire up normally. I have tried to add jumpers as described and to be frank this seems impossible in such a small scale. I have already fried the sleepers around the switch blades. As this is my first attempt at Dcc wiring I am ready to throw in the towel and go back to analogue. Why can't the manufacturers make a Dcc ready point and save all this hassle!
