Lurch

Trying to refrain from going on for pages about this! Downside of my having a garage by some shops. Can only assume "it won't be there all day" means I must not mind lifting stuff over peoples bonnets and across the drive to the van?

Don't need to do all that. Just paste the link in the reply box. The forum software will parse the text and make it a link when you press "Submit Reply", like so. http://www.example.com

Probably one of the reasons I was fitting CCTV in sidings and yards in the 2000s then!

What car is that on? Only seen that on convertibles.

Think about popping in every time I drive past.

Don't know about strange, as it's been there for the near 40 years I've been going there, but Uncle Sam's in Sheffield has a train trundling round.

Loads of people all over social media complaining about the obvious scams that they'd fallen for, when perfectly sober. People just don't read anything. Scammers market!

At least you get the actual box for that, absolute bargain really.

Turned it off and on again.

Don't need a new controller. Sticking with Gaugemaster y ou can use a WM3 to power the shuttle timer. https://www.gaugemasterretail.com/magento/model-railways/gaugemaster-controls-brand5/gaugemaster-gmc-wm3.html

Also a consideration, but I'm planning on using electrofrogs in conjunction with the Seeps, 2 unreliable methods must make it reliable right?! The Seeps are OK for what they cost, same as the electrofrog points really. If money was no object I wouldn't use the Seeps. Lots of layouts use no point motors and have no auxiliary switching at all and work perfectly fine.

I'd always do it that way anyway (wiring back to the panel) as then the LEDs follow the points if they are switched manually locally and you can see if the points don't fire over when you press the button on the panel. You don't need them to stay latched. Use the contact on the Seep to trigger the relay (or more specifically, 2 relays) and then use the contacts of one for the frog and the contacts of the second for the mimic. Going further you can use multiple relays for e.g. interlocks to stop opposing points being set or to remove track power when a crossover is switched to go from one loop to another. Those units are pretty handy for loads of things, you could use 1 8 module unit and wire multiple points to it or keep it simple and use a 2 module unit per point.

Quite often you'll find that the info you wanted was on some obscure website that is no longer available that someone posted a link to on a message board in 2003. Sometimes you can find the pages at http://archive.org/web/ Handy site for citing things when a simple copy/paste mangles everything and bookmarking the page may fall foul of the above - http://www.webcitation.org/

I think he was tired and rambling tbh.
