Thank you very much for your replies, that diagram is very helpful and I have sourced a suitable switch for such a purpose. I know no-one mentioned DCC, i was just referring to my own stupidiity in buying track that is essentially for DCC operation and having to reverse engineer it for DC operation. A bit of extra soldering keeps a girl out of mischief i guess ☺ Regards

Hi Thanks for your replies, I will look into the isolating and switch mehod further. Sounds very complicated though but one for sure is I will never switch to DCC... I prefer DC. Thanks

Hi, I am new here and I am sorry uf this is a duplicated question or posting and also apologies if it sounds like I am incredibly thick or stupid. I have recently bought some track for my railway and I am using Roco Geoline...great stuff. However the points on my passing loop are not isolating so I cannot have two trains on one layout as they both run when power is applied. Do I need insulating fishplates on any aspect of the points or are they just not suitable for good old fashioned DC Control. Any help would be very much appreciated Thanks Beth
