New layout limited space (Signalling Help Required)
I’m limited on space so I’m going for an end-to-end layout with a removable (or fold up) fiddle yard
Only a preliminary design at the moment using setrack geometry, I’m currently modifying it as my intention is to use streamline points, more than likely electrofrog
N gauge would have been ideal for the space but with age my eyes aren’t what they used to be
Independently, but the ground disc could only be pulled off when the points were set correctly. This would most likely be implemented by a plunger in the disc mechanism that hits a bar connected to the tie bar. When the points are "lying normal" the bar would prevent the plunger from moving. When set to crossover, the plunger would align with a slot in the bar and so the signal could move to the correct position.
