Solved! thank you all for you're assistance.

Hope this helps

thank you. I understand your theory. As a novice, I'm not sure how to wire this.

I have a 4 pin on/off latching button switch I intend using on a control panel. When I connect the power supply, the LED is on regardless of the button position. how do I wire this so that the LED only activates in the ON position?

Funny enough, I grew up in Stirling and also travelled to school on a Lodeka! I was told by someone at Model Rail Scotland a few years back that the SRPS had an option to save the Callander line but didn't persue this.

Many, many thanks for all the replies. All have been fascinating to read through. I think I have been unnecessarily confused by the diagram Peco provided on the reverse of the DS package. It showed the method by which the power feed to the DS could be switched with a DPDT switch. I now don't believe this isn't necessary for my track plan. My Up, Down and Branch Line all have separate power feeds and are all fed from bus wires. The Station Loop is fed on the BL bus. I think that if I feed the DS from the BL bus, I can operate successfully independent of the main lines. If anyone can spot any flaws in my theory, please comment.

Thanks for the responses. I've connected them briefly to a 9v battery and all but one bulb lights up. If I was to keep them, how would I wire the switch? What resistor would I need if using a 16v AC supply and where would it be placed in the circuit?.

I have a (Electrofrog) Double Slip installed. I know how to wire the frog polarity but I'm not sure how to wire up a switch for the stock rails to allow switching between different feeds. It did show this on the reverse of the Peco pack but I've lost it. I can't find any advice online. Can anyone help?

sorry, added now

many, many, many moons ago I acquired 4 of these colour light signals. They are all Green/Red and as can be seen, 2 wires are attached to each light. They are of no use to me but, before I stick them on Ebay, I'd like to test them. Trouble is, I've no idea how to. Can anyone suggest how they should be wired?

Great advice here. If I may, I have a related question. How many solenoid point motors can be fed through a Gaugemaster CDU? I have approx 30 points. Do I need more than one CDU?

I think you've misunderstood me. I was disappointed at the ratio of layouts compared to retailers and manufacturers. I do understand that taking a layout to a show is a massive undertaking by people who do it for the love of the hobby. I simply would have liked to see more layouts. The layouts I saw today were all magnificent.

Just home from the exhibition and, if I'm honest, I found it a bit disappointing. Just not enough layouts with a lot of floor space taken up by retailers and manufacturers. Blair Atholl towards Drumochter was the best layout IMHO. Hornby were very conspicuous by their absence. I suspect Simon Kohler didn't fancy a barrage of questions about pricing.

Yes, so obvious really but sometimes you can't see the wood for the trees
