I would of thought all you need is 1 push to make buttons and one SPDT switch (the relays will do the work controling the polarity) with the SPDT in the middle of the diamond on the track diagram and the push to make on one side of the running rails, you would select either up for straight ahead or down for cross and the push to make to fire the CDU the SPDT controls the which side of the Seep motor gets the power and the direction as you can never have trains crossing from both directions you can have all 4 points throwing at the same time.

Why don't you use Automotive relays to operate as interlocks? http://www.maplin.co.uk/p/12v-30a-dc-spdt-automotive-relay-n00aw http://www.maplin.co.uk/p/12v-40a-dc-spno-automotive-relay-n02aw http://www.maplin.co.uk/p/12v-40a-dc-relay-for-automotive-applications-ar32k They are more reliable and there are more types than just the three I have posted the links for above. Pete

Nano Led from Express Models would be the best no extra cutting needed. http://www.expressmodels.co.uk/acatalog/Micro_LEDs_on_Leads.html

How about part of an Airport? Pete

How Many missing Links will there be Chaz? Pete

How is the 1366 coming on or have you mothballed it until you have the courage to continue on it? Pete

Mick I may help if you make a jig fixture to build all four curved section on so all four are exactly the same that way you should be able to build them so they don't twist over time as curved boards tend to twist if they don't have sufficient bracing compared to oblong boards. Get Tim Horn to laser cut you the tops and common end parts as that will help and make to construction easier. Pete

As far as I'm concerned you can use it where you want to Peter

The Garden Rail kit is probably the only licensed kit for use in the Garden. My kit is defiantly not a copy of your model, as several people on here will validate. And there is a Full Commercial License in place for both of my kits. My license may of been issued after yours if yours was issued before Dec 2013. Pete

The Shed looks great Shanks. Can I say every other roof truss should have a cross brace as you have done with the end trusses. Keep the pictures coming. Pete

Happy Birthday for the weekend George 45 again. Pete

Now that one looks like a Mainline Model very nice Ken.

Very nice Brian Thanks for posting the images.

After testing the drive system on a prototype model and altering a few of the parts to rectify drive problems highlighted by Ian the drive belts will last a lot longer and will give increased traction. Pete

Batch 1 will be 15 kits in size and once I have orders to fill batch one I will post that "Batch 1 has been filled" then I will start taking order for Batch 2 which will have a limit set then. Originally I had intended to recommend three builders for this kit but two builders have had a quite significant change in there circumstances and there will now be only one builder Mozzer Models the construction and painting cost will need to be worked out between Mozzer and the kit purchaser and I will not be supplying the kit directly to Mozzer. Don't badger Mozzer as for what he would charge as he has not seen a kit and it would not be fair to expect him to quote a building/painting price on something he has not seen. Pete

Ok the first 10 kits are spoken for there is still time if anyone else wants a kit as I will increase the first order to 15 kits Pete

Closely followed with a collaboration with Mick Bryan 100 Shades of Yellow. Family is more important and you can always pick it up again later when you are ready Cav. Pete
