Thanks for pictures fellas much appreciated.

Thanks Mick 👍

What livery were they in and how long ago would you say you last saw some?

Thanks for the info fellas much appreciated.

Can anyone advise if Network Rail use SPA wagons and if so what they carry.

Many thanks. I'm asking as the bus wire is to thick to fit in the controller track terminals.

Apologies if asking in the wrong place but is it ok to use a smaller gauge wire for the controller track feeds to the bus wire?

Finally got round to wiring the crossover up and it appears to be working fine with the only loco giving a few problems being the Hornby 08.......the Bachmann 08"s crawl through. So many thanks for all the help it was much appreciated. Cheers Ian.

Nice one thank you.

You mean the Y point (as shown by John) not the double slip?

Many thanks for your replies it's much appreciated. I did have some joy earlier switching frog polarity taken off the double slip but only tested in one direction so not sure if it will work when the rest of the track is laid. Appreciate the diagram John so you reckon it's best to take the polarity switching off the Y point? Cheers Ian.

Thanks for the link phixer64 and as I say I've been on Brian's site but still couldn't get it wired up to work. Hoping someone could advise about the frog switching using Tortoise motors....should they be from the Y point or the Double Slip etc.

Hi hoping someone can help with the frog wiring on the Peco finescale electrofrog short crossing. I've got the double slip wired up ok but can't get my head around the crossing. I'm using Tortoise motors to switch the frog polarity. I've also used insulated joiners on all the rails. I have read a few threads on here and looked on the Brian Lambert site but still no luck. Excuse the mess.....double slip is fixed down, the crossing and Y point not fixed down yet, Thanks for any advice. (I have posted in the non DCC section but the layout is DCC)

I did manage to contact Jim on Monday who apologiesed for the delay. I received email notification yesterday to say the order had been posted and on the way.

Apologies if posting in the wrong place...... I bought two of the Airtour Suisse ones with the intention of renaming one. I went and purchased etched plates for 73 122 'County Of East Sussex' but looking at pictures on the web of 73 122 it shows the large white BR arrows on one side opposite to the Airtour Suisse ones. The only two named 73's I think I can find with the BR arrows at the same ends as the Airtour Sussie in the Intercity livery (I know it's not correct) are 'Brighton Evening Argus' & 'City Of Winchester'. Anyone confirm this and why was the BR arrows on some of the 73's at different ends? Thanks Ian.
