Yes I do have a switched isolating section at the end of the bay for run round purposes.

I have used 37 Peco electrofrog code 100 "00" points on my layout for the past 17 years and only recently had need to change one small radius R/H one that goes to a station bay platform with no feed to the bay other than through the point blade as with all my points. On purchasing a new LS-E91 electrofrog replacement I find Peco have redesigned the point blade as a two section portion and the under blade spring contact as used on the 1994 version is no longer there. On fitting the new point in position I find that when a loco runs through the straight section the loco in the right hand section is no longer isolated as they both move together. I did not have this problem with the 1994 model as only straight or right hand were isolated as with all my other points and it also stops the loco at the point if it not set right for the feed eliminating derailments. I am running DC. Do I need to source a 1994 version as a replacement as I'm not happy to cut or solder wires to the new point. Any answers would be most helpful. Regards Terry

I already have a G scale end to end layout named Battenberg that has been well received at mainly local exhibitions in Derby. It was the inspiration of Michael Marwood a member of the G scale society who passed away in 2014 and wanted to show G scale at exhibitions. Each board of four is 2feet 3inches square (hence the name Battenberg) giving a total length of 9 feet. We will be exhibiting at Belper on 25th of March 2017 and at Railex at the brewery at Burton on Trent on November 5th 2017.The whole layout fits in my Nissan Note comfortably. We welcome invites for Exhibitions. Contact melbourneterry@yahoo.co.uk
