Alex, yes the title DCC++ is a play on words, cute but makes searching a pain give the way most search functions treat ++ Here’s a link to the creators YouTube page which explains where the name came from and all about it: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJmvQx-fe0OMAIH-_g-_rZw

PatB, the only changes I made to the code was to manually set the IP address rather than have it automatically assigned, this made fault finding the network side also easier as I knew what address I was trying to reach and I also set some of the extra pins on the Mega to control points / turnouts

It’s an open source DCC controller which anyone can build using an Arduino and a bit of electronics / software knowledge. I’ve just added a pretty box and WiFi so I can control my trains from my iPhone.

Hopefully the photos are showing now

It seems to have a good following in the US but I was wondering if anyone else is using it in the UK? Given the basic Arduino plus motor shield is less than £20 it’s definitely the cheapest way to get into DCC, that said I’ve added a stand alone WiFi Network and some fancy connectors to mine and there’s provision for a Raspberry Pi so I can fully automate it later on. Attached are a couple of pictures of what I’ve made.

I'm after eight Dapol NEM pockets plus the brackets that go underneither them, I know I can buy them directfrom Dapol but they only sell them in packs of 40 which is way more than I need or am ever likely to need. Below is a link to the item on the Dapol site: https://www.Dapol.co.uk/shop/model-accessories/coupling-systems/oo-gauge-coupling/coupnemoo-oo-gaugenem-couplings-pack-of-40--112

I'm just after the box if anyone has one. Thanks Rob

Did racks privateer wagons have tail lights?

Thank you for your detailed replies it’s really given me a lot to think about. -
I’m re-working some seven plank wagons to reflect the long closed collieries which used to exist in the Forest of Dean. I was wondering if racks would of had a tail light at the end or if they’d have used a guards van? I’ve tried googling images but so far i’ve not found any images which show the end of a rake.
