    I would disagree with those suggestions as the wipers are becoming detached from the carrying arm. Their attachment points are a long way away from the connections where any soldering takes place. As to switching of current the switching of DCC power to the point frog would normally take place when there is no rolling stock at the frog and hence no DCC current flowing through the frog, the other contact is just switching a low current feedback signal.

    MERG is a group of enthusiasts so whilst the Servo4 is a much lower cost than many commercial offerings you do have to build it yourself from a kit and support from the community is readily available but there's no warranty. The Sema4 firmware will allow a bit of bounce to be simulated but some find it challenging to use. For those not keen on spending some time down rabbit holes best go with one of those many commercial offerings now out there.

    I am unaware of any solenoid motor designed to use a continuous current. If it's just the switch you want to stick with but are prepared to do different wiring then there are a number of circuits designed to take a simple "on/off" input, i.e. just using one side of the and based on that changing output the appropriate pulse to operate a twin coil solenoid motor. Your title mentions servos, whereas you posting does not. Here again you would need to employ a circuit that would utilise one side of the switch for an "on/off" input and output the appropriate command signal to drive a servo base on the state of the input.

    On behalf of the club thank you to the traders and exhibitors that supported the show as well as to all those who visited over the weekend. We trust everyone had an enjoyable time and considered the show worthwhile.

    The leisure centre no longer serves refreshments, it merely has some vending machines in the main lobby. For the duration of the show The Italian Job Coffee will have their trailer parked outside the main entrance from which they will be serving a selection of hot and cold food and drink. The leisure centre still has the public lounge on the first floor from which you can overlook the exhibition hall. So having made a purchase you can bring this into the lounge for consumption. The centre prohibits the consumption of food or drink in the exhibition hall itself.

    I've only just come across this thread but I repaired what I believe is one of these units back in March 2018,

    Neal finally told me the scale/gauge for "Farmer's Drove" along with the location and era being modelled. At almost the last minute we have one more trader who literally walked through our clubroom door to ask about attending. "The Locomotion Store" are a new venture who are introducing a range of gauge 3 static display locomotives as kits, ready assembled, or fully finished.

    Greensplat has had to withdraw but a club member, Neal Mansell, has offered his new layout, "Farmer's Drove" to make up the numbers. We also have a new trader, Graham Ravensdale, who will be selling die cast road vehicles.

    By the way for those not familiar with Calne the Community Campus is NOT the Beversbrook Sports Facility. It's the original leisure centre adjacent to the secondary school at the Quemerford end of the town.

    We're grateful to Simon Addelsee for agreeing to bring Hobbiton End.

    Unfortunately Bridgebury Gate have had to withdraw from the show. We're in the process of finding a substitute.

    Unfortunately due to a mix up with the venue booking the limited time available to us on the Friday evening means the layout Broadford has had to withdraw this year. We're in the process of seeking a substitute.
