Thanks for your reply.

When making road signs for oo Gauge what would be the correct diameter for the pole?

Happy Birthday David and here's to many more.

Good Afternoon John,

I have only just come across this and just finished going through the previous three pages, the work on your layout is fantastic and it is great that you have shared your knowledge of the workings in the area.

Thank you for posting

Nigel,

Thank you for the very detailed reply, I will have a go with this to see if I can get it to work.  I am in South East Northumberland but I would be more than happy to travel to the Borders for a chat.

Hello Nigel,

thanks for your reply, my control system is Lenz 100 and the couplings are attracted to magnets below the ballast. I have been looking through the Zimo manual trying to figure out how to select a function output and make it 'uncoupling' then assign a function key to operate it but I can't make head nor tail of  the manual.

Any further advice/help would be appreciated.

Michael

Hello everyone,

after reading an RM web post from 2018 re: Zimo Auto Uncoupling I was wondering if it might work with 'Sprat & Winkle couplings? If anyone has done this I would be interested to hear, I have a look at the Zimo manual which states that CVs 115 and 116 are responsible for the auto uncoupling, is it just a case of assigning these two CVs to the desired function keys? 

As always thanks in advance for any advice.

Michael

Happy to report that the point is now sorted out, I put a small spot of solder where the link wires had been cut.

Thank you for everyone's help

Then I would suggest checking continuity over the point with a meter with the frog wire attached to the correct bus wire as I suggested. If this shows no problem, then the issue must be with the loco. It could be one or two pickups are not making proper contact with the wheels, which could be exacerbated if the turnout is not completely flat, for example. 

I have a multi meter but I am not sure how to check continuity, can you give me a clue please?

That was the first thing I tried but it has no effect, really I should have thought in advance when I modified the points for DCC and left this particular point as supplied.

Hello all,

I have quite a few of the above points (title) on my layout which I have modified for DCC, switch and stock rails bonded, link wires cut and frogs wired to micro switches on the point motors and they all work fine, however, one point which is never switched from the straight route has a problem, my 0-6-0 loco is stopping on the frog. The point has no motor and no frog switching, dropper wires are connected to the toe end of the point and IRJs are fitted to both frog rails but the frog wire is not connected.

I can't work out what to do to get power to the frog, this has got me baffled.

Any advice would much appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Got mine today from WH Smith's in Blyth, Northumberland.
