Where on Earth did you get your points from Trev? Peco's quality control system isn't usually that bad.

Three of the points were the ones I had trouble with before taking the track up. One didn't isolate, one didn't transmit power and the other one was the one that the 73 didn't like. The fourth one was just a bit dodgy so it got discarded anyway. I didn't want to get to the stage of finishing laying the track to find problems again, so I've only used those which I'm confident of. Famous last words!!!! I started pinning the track down today, and have done quite a bit (despite the diversion of Rovers being on the TV...they won 22-20 and have gone top of the Rugby League Super League ). I'm testing every section with the 73 as I lay it, so fingers crossed that everything works as it should do when I've finished. This layout uses ten points, and to be honest with you, it seems to be a better plan than the last one. A very long passing loop (which manages to give the impression of double track for almost half of the oval), DMU bay, carriage siding, loco refuelling/stabling point, and a small goods yard. |

Frankly speaking, it's a disgrace. If Warrington manage to turn over the resurgent Robins next weekend then I'll be complaining to Ian . There again, Warrington only managed to beat the black and whites from the KC stadium by one point so I reckon Rovers can do the business over there in Cheshire. And... er.... we won't mention St Helens
Finished pinning the track down today. And everything works !!!! I did a thorough test with each locomotive and there are no problems at all. I think I'm finally at the scenery stage! |

It's about time you started to see something for your efforts. P.S. I am not really a Wolves fan but I will be looking out for the result next week, just for curiosity

Trev,
Good to hear you have got it sorted. Hope you find as much fun in the scenery building as I did. Great to build a town or village up from scratch. You are town planner , builder and customer all in one so planning permission is not a problem. Post some shot of the layout before building starts then as you go. I enjoy seeing a layout coming together. Syd |

Never mind Trev. At least the layout's progressing well.
