    If it is still available 'How to wire your Model Railroad' by Linn Wescott is a good basic guide.  It is American but uses the same principles as we do over here.  The ISBN is 0-89024-511-8.  It goes from basic to circuits for two or more trains.

    Hope that helps.

      One of the rules which I think was first articulated by Linn is turnouts connected frog to frog must have an isolation in both rails between them. It may just apply to electrofrog and hand built turnouts but it has helped me time after time.

    I like the design very much as it reminds me of a similar layout I was involved with some years ago which had plenty of operational potential. One question regarding the barge. Will it a permanent fixture or moveable? Ours was in O gauge so it had to be fixed due to the sheer bulk. In S gauge, if it is light enough, there could be a spare unit so that they would be the equivalent of cassettes in a staging yard. Looking forward to following the construction. Ken

    Those pliers sound a useful piece of kit. There used to be a Kaydee spiking tool rather like a staple gun but I think they went out of production some years ago. I must admit, I cheat by using copperclad, soldering the rail to it and disguising it all with the ballast. Ken

    The spiked track looks great and just right for a light railway. Did you have spiking tool or is it just patience and a good set of pliers? Ken

    Just caught up on your progress. It's looking good and the sound added that extra. Ken
