So far so good (apart from the green wire). Look forward to seeing how you get on with this as I would like to add the signal type to my layout (in time) but there is no mimic panel in mine to contend with. That should make life simpler. I like that. R-

Green wire is now in my possession. Before I start the soldering marathon I will fit the one I prepared earlier and connect it up to prove I have all my connections in the right place (I’ve been caught out before
).
While I was out that nice man from Yodel delivered a package from Hatton’s. Fortunately it only contained the oily weathering kit I mentioned the other day rather than anything more fragile. Yes, you guessed it, it was tossed over a 6’ fence.

Just be glad it arrived at all.

Hope you contacted Hattons about the idiot delivery person.

Had another fiddle with this today, and yes I got the wiring wrong to start off with. This is roughly what the lights controlling entry to the goods yard will look like.

Thanks Roger, I guessed correctly about the scale. Not prototypical and definitely not sited correctly but they will add another dimension to operating the layout.
I just need to find the time to do all the soldering.
