If the main layout was at a height of 35mm off the baseboard, the incline would then climb 30mm and the track to the sidings (fiddle yard would drop 35mm giving a 65mm clearance at the bridge. The grades would not be excessive.

What about the Builder plus BP0082 pithead buildings if you want a more British look.

When testing did you disconnect the power supply or unit feeding the track as this will become part of the circuit and give a resistance reading.

You mention that all the other loco's work on DC so are you trying to run the problem loco on DC or DCC? If DC then you need to add 4 to cv 29.

Hi
If you use LaisDcc decoders, they have a purple and black wire attached to theie decoders that are for the fitting of stay alive.

Their web site is https.//laisdcc.com. bnb

Hi Steve, I also want to use lichen and if you google preserving lichen with glycerin you will finf what you want to know. Easiest solution is 2 parts lukewarm warm to 1 part glycerin (dye could be added to improve colour. I haven't tried it yet but it's on my list.

Thanks Richard. I should have been clearer on my first post.

Think about the circuit Richard, The ac in is rectified by the single diode and that give on;y half the sine wave out according to which way the diode is facing. I have used this circuit to reverse dc motors on some of my projects so I know for a fact that it works. Both the wires are from the ac so...

Could you power the signals with ac and then use the seep switch to change the polarity by using diodes.
