Are you an Insulfrog or Electrofrogman? I'm told that with DCC it doesn't matter. I have rather a large collection of steam locos, kit-built and RTR, so 'chipping' them all isn't going to be cheap...there's a dilema.

I'm at the planning stage, having torn up the tracks from what is now the ex's house, my present abode is a New-build. I'm must have a word with Charles Church and ask them to re-think their roof construction as they've used far too much wood in way too many directions...it looks too flimsy to me...nah! too risky. They don't build 'em like they used to...

Garage!....Here I come!!!....

Hi Jules I am wiring the layout for DCC and but on the removable Hinged section I have done wiring for DCC and DC as I will be running DC till I can afford to fit out all my Locos with Decoders,which will be towards the end of the year as I will be spending the money on getting the layout built so decoders are the last thing to get for the layout.

I have used all hornby small Points which are Inslufrog points but Inslufrog points are not good for 0-4-0 locos as they have less pick-ups so stop when they run slow over the dead frog of Inslufrog points,but I won't have any 0-4-0 locos on my layout so I am ok but will be having 0-6-0 locos which have more pick-ups so they are ok and all my other locos are fine running over them.

My next layout which will be the same size but wider at 10ft will have all Peco Streamline Inslufrog Points as I like the ease of wiring they offer.
