    It is simply not a good idea to power track and accessories from the same bus. If the track has a short (easily done by not throwing a point correctly) then you loose the ability to correct it as it has also shorted out the accessories. It is much better practise to have separate track and accessory buses. Also you are not over loading the track bus with accessory demands.

    Confusing an Avenging Angel with a field mushroom is a pretty effective way of departing this life.

    That does not say what you think it says. That is nothing to do with common return - that warning is to do with not to connecting transforms in parallel on the supply side.

    That's because Accessory Decoders use a +ve common and CDUs use a -ve common. Although there is no reason why you could not adopt a +ve common with a CDU.

    How on earth can such a reputable show as this even consider, let alone actually, invite some one like Cooper Craft to the show?

    The clips are painted in the factory to identify left and right hand clips. Also there are many types of "Pandrol" clips depending on the usage requirements.

    Yes that is correct, in so far as my statement was made on the basis that the Directors have acted properly.

    Limited liability companies are required to show Limited after their name for good reason. It is there as a warning to all who deal with then that their liability is limited.

    Are you sure you mean a calling on arm? I know it was asked earlier but it's called a Calling On (CO) signal because you are calling the engine on to something i.e. usually a train. It usually works with track circuits (TS) such that if a train is standing in the section, in advance of the Home, the activation of the TS allows the pulling of the CO arm but locks the Home. When no occupation of the TS the CO is locked but the Home released.

    There's no such thing as a 12v LED. All LEDs are 2v-3v. 12v LEDs are 2v LEDs with an in-built resistor. For modern LEDs 1k is much too low - you should use 2k2 or even 3k3 in low light conditions.
