Thanks

Are these still necessary if you provide a feed to the point in the bus wiring thanks

Thanks for the reply. It is new from a reputable dealer so I’ll try your first suggestion but give a miss on removing the body

Hi I've just bought the above loco. Running in one direction its quite and smooth. Run it in the opposite direction, although it remains smooth its noticeable noisy, almost like the motor is under strain. Fault or a quirk Anyone else have this Thanks

Thanks. Fingers crossed

Thanks for the answers, I now understand can I ask one more question, I have created two loops, two live & two returns for the two basic ovals I have from 13 amp solid core wire. Each loop has the droppers from each piece of track to the appropriate circuit. When I finally go over to dcc my plan was to join these two loops at one end and then feed that to the select controller. will this work

Hi, I have been working on a layout for several months and it's been a huge learning curve. I've searched and read so much and still I'm not sure spnplease bear with me. I have a mixture of dc and dcc stock so although using a hornby 2000 controller at the moment I have wired the track to convert readily to dcc at some point in the future. I will always run the points and lighting through the dc controller. So, for now and in the future can I use the common return I installed for the track for the points and lighting or do they need their own return and do you use continuous loop or add a break thanks

Thanks for the help and advice to all

Hi ive just replaced an old mainline warship with a new Bachmann 43 warship but hope to use a hornby decoder chip to try and minimise possible issues. I have a select controller. Any suggestions would be appreciated

I downloaded a free trial of a layout programme that had librarys that included series 3 & 4 track, I used it for planning my series 4 layout

thanks for the links and your help

yes the later poorly worded will the second diagram do the same job I think it will be easier for me to do, as your no doubt suspect, they are not in a nice straight line like in diagramms thanks for your help

thanks for the reply, your diagram is very similar to what I have, you have a feed going from switch to switch, if i were to put a block where your "switch panel" wording is and run individual feeds to each motpor from that is that the same thing or do the switches need to link as in your diagram ive tried to copy and paste both the diagram and the block I am considering without success so you can imagine the abilities of person you are helping in effect a common in similar to the common return shown

Hi I'm unsure how to wire my seep points. I have read and watched various books videos but I'm still unsure about the live feed. I'm understand that I need to run two wires to each motor from each switch and to have a common return. I have a diagram that shows the live feed to the momentery toggle switches piggy backing from one to the other. The swiches I have will make this a challenge for my basic soldering skills. Can I run a live feed in to a panel and then run wires from this to each switch, will this give the same result as running from one switch to the next as in in the diagram. Thanks
