This is what I was going from when thinking about my layout I'm now very confused as this site states although rarely done it doesn't state that it's not allowed to be done. As you can see it's an extract from a different thread from this website? Is there actually any regulartions written down?

A very nice unusual themed layout.

 

I am however a bit concerned about what looks like to be a 240v mains connection to the transformer so near and unprotected to the the low voltage connections.

Great little layout and gives me some inspiration to create my own, full of character and atmosphere. What is the concern with the wiring. As I would have thought as long as the gentleman has ventilation, its PAT tested and is inaccessible to touch when operated then it would be fine it appears to be in a plastic case so is insulated. Forgive me only just starting in the model railway world and only living in a small flat I don't have much space.

The new headlight on the 31 needs a LED and there's not a lot of room for it. I resorted to grinding a small amount from the floor casting and filing a similar amount from under the cab moulding.

Due to the 31 having Hornby's peculiar negative common, I decided to wire the headlight (and the one at the other end) directly to the 8 pin plug white and yellow leads.

 

And a couple of layers of paint later

Next up will be UTU2 itself - 62482, ex 4-REP driving car. A bit more complicated than filling in a couple of windows (and not yellow), but don't worry, I'll get back to simpler things later!
