Regarding the entry by Walking the Dog I have just read a review about Dapol Signals in the January 2020 edition of Hornby Magazine and it also advises that extension cables are to be produced. I think I'll wait for them to be released.

Many thanks to all contributors.

Don't know what happened there. Hopefully they are attached now.

Picture attached. I have also attached a drawing of the plug with dimensionjs.

I can solder (not very well) but I can ask a member of the club to help. At the moment I'm looking at all avenues to go down before I have to cut the wires. I suppose if I have to I could use terminal blocks as they won't be visible.

I have just obtained one of the above. The set contains pre-wired switches that plug into a control module that fits below the signal, under the baseboard. The problem is that the wires are only twelve inches long and my control panel is more that three feet away from where I want to install the sig...

The instructions that come with them are very minimal. I'll now have a go at altering the emf settins but I'd bette...

After a few seconds they slowly start moving but after another 6 - 12 inches they come to a stop again. They all have t...

Thanks for this. The plan looks good. I'm trying to look for a copy of the book but they are expensive. Looking through a copy of a model railway magazine I found that Lightmoor Press has published a book called Branch Lines to Chard. It costs £35 - 00 plus postage. As it is a book specifically abou...
