I have now replaced the underboard lighting (LIDL's) and have upgraded the power supply to 5amps. The DCC Concepts Alpha system should have all point motors working and getting all of their power and signals via the track - no separate wiring. Not normally recommended, but they assured me it would work without any problems. I now have to wire all these items together and get my layout diagram made with all of the relevant point switches installed. I have been getting this kit together over the nine months, therefore spreading the cost.

Incredibly neat Barry, then again that is what I would expect.

Thanks Brian - but I haven't done the wiring yet :( . The actual panel containing the layout diagram and point switches will be on the lid of the desk as you see it at the moment, and as the items appear at the moment, lengthy extension leads may be required. The various electrical panels have four screw holes (each corner), and I am wondering whether with a suitable spacer (plastic tube?) I could mount some of the panels on top of one another? Just a thought, but I do want to keep it as tidy as possible.
