      Cheers for the comments chaps, not too concerned as was plain track fiddle for a shunting plank. Good point re the sugar tho, glad I gave it up now!

      Steve, to be honest the number of droppers is just a natural evolution of belt and braces, I actually changed to DCC halfway thru tracklaying and have saved on isolating sections and switches etc. Good DCC wiring is good practice for DC, Trust me if a clanky articifer can understand anyone can :)
