RMweb Premium Mallard60022 Posted February 21, 2016 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted February 21, 2016 Phil you need the switch to break the wire from the bus to the section you want to isolate. You also need the feed rail to have an insulating fishplate at each end. TBH on DC if you have lots of sections in an area the BUS won't save you any wire. That confirms what Stu said and I modified.....and there I was thinking I was being really clever using a surface mounted BUS in the Fiddle. I might just as well rely on the bloo*y rail joiners in that area. P Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Clive Mortimore Posted February 22, 2016 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 22, 2016 All this talk about model railway electrics, I find doing my own layouts easy but to describe to others how I do it is almost impossible. With DC wiring you need one wire for one track and another for the other track. Simples. And I see Captain K has mentioned that place again, Camborne, see bandits they appeared to have hijacked a bus. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Clive Mortimore Posted February 22, 2016 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 22, 2016 Hi Phil I might have been able to help with the sparks before it all became confusing, once confusion has set in there is no going back. Sadly I was at the D&E toy train show in Telford, that's right nearly Wales. I looked on all the trade stands none had a Nu-Cast LMS Stanier 3P 2-6-2T kit for sale, odd that as it is a show for diesel and electric modellers. On the way there I was in the wrong lane on the M6, it cost me 4 pounds to get off the other M6 No Map, No Satnav, Not even the sun to navigate with. I just knew the A5 lead to Wales so I should be able pick up signs for Telford. It was when I saw the signs about no kerb crawling in some place I have never heard of (Warsaw I think it was) and the traffic was almost to a standstill I was getting a bit concerned.

Dr Gerbil-Fritters Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 yep, i'm not going there again. it's bad for my health.

LNER4479 Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 It was only case of when... What amuses me is that the original thread dates from Aug 2010 and there was then a 5-and-a-half year gap before an innocent posting yesterday supplying some prototype information. Blue touch paper lit and fizzing from that moment. Meanwhile, there's a man here doing some ballasting. Must away - I think he might need another cup of ba gum tea. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Mallard60022 Posted February 22, 2016 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted February 22, 2016 Calm down, and I'm so sorry but some sort of 'modelling' has taken place this afternoon. It was really scary and complicated. We are talking here about the proposed Fiddle Yard (FY) tracks. First I ascended to the loft and looked at some spare bits of track that have droppers attached already (pre used; thank you Shaky: RIP). These needed the droppers changing rails so that they could fit with others already laid along the Fiddle tracks; do not bother asking. I also had a tiny think about where some isolating switches might go in this area. It was a very tiny think. I then descended and went to the workshop (Conservatory). No wires or Soldering irons were injured or upset during the transfer of the droppers. I then ascended to return modified track lengths to the FY area. Then I measured a short piece of track that goes from a point (oh, sorry I forgot, that had also had its droppers rearranged but not transferred) to the third down FY track so that I could see the position of the aforementioned modified lengths. Such fun. I shall take a pic tomorrow to show the scene of carnage. (I may be distracted as Scotsman is supposed to be LE south tomorrow morning BUT I hear it is broken). There we go. Breathe deeply and take a minute to absorb the enormity of what has just happened. Quackers. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
