Thanks for that I really appreciate your help, with electrofrog points do i need to adapt them or use them out of the box? I also plan on a fiddle yard to the left of the layout making a "L shape" but that's another problem for another day!!!

Hi I've never had a layout of my own, had a small one my dad built. Hence no real knowledge and hence the basic questions!!!
Not planning to power the frogs as ive no idea how or why you would??
Just want to shunt and run a train out of the fiddle yard, simple snd easy. Possibly have a loco in the shed perhaps one in a siding or standing in the head shunt but certainly only running 1 train at once.

You need to power the frogs so that locos can run more smoothly through the points - it means there's more contact area for the wheels to pick up power. That's what electrofrog points are all about.
But as I said, if you just use the points out of the packet they will switch the power to the frog themselves so that's probably the way for you to go.
All the best.
