You need neither point motors or frog juicers - but you do need feeds to the 'dead' green sections. Feed to the frog is to ensure continuity of power through the point without relying on the switch blades. This is something I didn't understand when I laid my track years ago and now regret this ignorance.
Well if you've got the same problem with 2 points / motors then it's unlikely to be anything other than the wiring but without diagrams / photos it's difficult to say.
With HLJ up and running and available for public viewing, you've got yourself one hell of a benchmark. Although as yours will be 'static' it may be slightly easier to build.
Same for me - the all blue front-end looks too much like a 37. I'm starting to REALLY regret not placing an order when I had the chance. As both the purple & blue examples are all gone, I may have to plump for a green version.
Instructions say "DCC can also be configured to give constant brightness of the headcode panel and tail lights". Which prompted my question about the tail lights working without DCC but without constant brightness.
Just taken delivery of my very first Heljan model - and a fine looking item it is. 33029 in DRS livery. But I have a question - am I right in saying you can only get red tail lights on if you run DCC? Instructions aren't all that clear (or at least to me!).
