How about Art Deco

1/ Station Building like Rayner's Lane, or similar to Scenecraft's version of Sudbury and Harrow On The hill centre platform

2/ Parade of shops with flats above.

Love the design of Art Deco with the familiar curved windows

and

3/ As suggested by so many A station Hotel

I went to a model railway show a couple years back either around Milton Keynes or at Hatfield, and there was a small circular layout as you entered the gym. The person operating stood in the middle and the fiddle yard was behind him. I think it was set in the late 30's and what made it stand out and get everyone's attention was the winding round that went round the layout that had a moving van.

What I am interested to know is from your picture I notice one of the point motor arms has what looks like a screw on the end. If this is correct, has it been put in place to hold the arm in place?

In answer to the other question Traction (Ian) was absolutely right. As soon as I reversed the wires it all worked perfectly. Hours later and another 5 installed and it is still working

Argh the penny drops. Ok, first thing tomorrow I will do exactly as you have suggested. Hopefully that is it, Thank you

Turn cobalt point motor 2 around to match 1 and 3 and you will notice the wires are exactly the same. If I had the wires round the wrong way I would get a short all the time. I only get it once I place the frog wire into Cobalt 2.

Hi Ian

I have added a picture of underneath which shows from the left point 1, then point 2 and finally point 3. As you will notice the point 2 motor is opposite way round but the wires are the same as the other two. I should of added this pictue in the first place instead of trying to draw it .......

In the picture above I have three points. Each is attached to a Cobalt Digital point motor. Point 1 and point 3 have the Digitals the same way round and the wiring is as mentioned in the picture. Point 2 has the Digital round the opposite way and thus the wiring is the opposite as well.

The trouble I am having is point 2 with the point motor. As soon as I place the frog wire into the proper connector I get a short circuit through my NCE powercab. No matter which way the point blades are it always happens. I have checked to make sure I have all the IRJ's in the right place, and these are represented by red lines. The blue lines in the diagram are normal fishplates.

So what I have at the moment is my diesel trains going over point 2 without much trouble until they go slower then they splutter and stop. My steam loco's get stuck on point 2 by the frog every time. 

Could someone please point out what I have done glaringly wrong so I can rectify the problem before I lose the plot
