| Oh I see now! You would put the goods train into the siding then isolate the siding (electrically) then run the HST onto that section of track. |

| | All Round Modeller | Still looking good Steven,
I like the idea of the fiddle yard and you have clearly thought it out, hope it works as well in practice for you.
Coming on very nicely now

| Well got all the money together and i went upto the people i ordered the orient express bpxed set off and when we got there is stall was closed but there was a piece of card stuck to the shutter of the stall and it read:This stall has closed for good, so that helps me alot i ordered something off them and there closed for good.
So we went home to buy one off the internet but my dad told my mum to ring the other shop not far from us to see if they had one in and by luck they did and they only got it yesterday so we went and got it for £200 here's some photos of my new buy | |

And the second one is off the right side of the layout with the train lift and fiddle yard http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6.../mylayout3.jpg
Well the fiddle yard will have it's own controller to power the fiddle yard and when the lift comes down there will be some sort of contact strip to connect power from the fiddle yard to the lift,and when it is at the main layout level one of the main controller will put power to the lift via contact strips aswell, so the lift will only have power when it is at either level via the controllers.
Here's another drawing of it,i will do the proper drawings on paper anyway here it is http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6.../mylayout5.jpg
Just done a quick drawing on paint program to show how the power will be connected to the lift http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...connection.jpg | *** Steven,your threads are fascinating and I can see that you have put a lot of thought and work into this layout so far,just like Greyhead I am following it with great interest as we can all learn something from each others model building whatever avenues our modelling takes,thank you for the interest that you are creating here by going into the detail of your layout,it is appreciated.

| Big development
My mum has been saying my layout would be better in the other room and i sleep in the room that my layout is now as i will have more room for stuff that's in the room i sleep in now and i agree with her after i had done some measuring of the other room, as with having the layout in the other room i can make my layout bigger by using all the walls and i won't have to keep crawling under the layout every time to do something, so the layout will measure 14ft x 7ft 5 " on one wall and 6ft on the other wall,plus with layout still in the track laying stage it will be easy to dismantle it and start a new layout so it's by by old layout and hello new layout.And gives me a chance to design my layout properly. | |
