You need to divide the layout into manageable chunks - more rather than less. Then you activate each section using a switch to the controller. Personally I wouldn't use common return in your circumstance but use DPDT switches to switch power and ground together.

No it was blocked by the barrier arm coming down.

Looking at this film, as well as others, I'm always amazed at the total lack of protection the goods are given. Whilst I think nowadays there is clearly too much packaging but to not have any is surprising.

take a look at B21 0RW on Google Maps. The railway through the centre is the Midland Metro but you can see the railway beneath.

I suggest an XLR plug and socket. It's specifically designed for the purpose.

RS will sell it providing you have an account - not difficult to get.

Anybody can defeat 1471 just dial 141 before the number.

No it doesn't. As has been said a number of times now the loco will always, irrespective of its placement on the track, always move forward if forward is selected and reverse if reverse is selected. Blindingly obvious with a steam loco perhaps not so obvious with a diesel/electric if you don't know which end you've chosen as the front.

Ambis Engineering do a nice robust lever frame.

I suppose you could register with Abe Books and sell through them. But as Nearholmer says "Coffee Table" books are generally worthless. I have people give me books saying - "you like railways I thought you would like this" - they go straight in the bin or charity shop.

0 Gauge - wouldn't pull the skin off a rice pudding.

Venetian Red not Crimson

Can't answer for LMS but in Midland days it would be Venetian Red to the base and Cream above. However in water restricted areas the cream was replaced with Red. This showed the crew to only take sufficient for their needs and to not do a full tank fill.

I belive that Humbrol paint is actualy made by Rustins

I'm getting multiple member tags in Firefox

Just go here and let it design your layout: http://led.linear1.org/led.wiz

You can buy Dullcote in a jar for brush painting

Just goes to show how taste and money are often parted.

I think you may be confusing Eclipse with Kennedy. Kennedy have always been lighter than Eclipse.

I have no idea what a "selector" is but: Interlocking (which is to be found within the signal box on mechanical frames) is to stop the signalman doing something he shouldn't. Detection (mechanical or electrical) is to show that something has happened after a signalman has done something and is to be found out on the railway at a place where the movement of a piece of equipment is to be detected. Both interface with the signals and points to prevent situations which are adverse to the proper running of the railway.

anyone tried Lemon Juice and salt?

You don't need to re-set, just programme the number as you have already done. It simply overwrites what is already there.
