What a cracking idea, bet a corrugated fence looks good. I'll certainly be using the method.

Keep the tips coming.

Spot on advice as always, swapping D & E, then reconnecting the F wire has removed the short. Many thanks.

Thank you Brian, I'll be back in the shed tomorrow!

Having just posted a query regarding electro points I thought I'd just add a quick update to show I'm still here. With a big thrust on the electrics there isn't much progress to see. Focus is currently on the control panel; switches for the point motors and route indicators. https://i.postimg.cc/CnK...

The image shows an Peco electro frog cross-over I have just wired up to Seep PM1 point motors (not sure I needed to post it). Both points have been modified in the prescribed manner, the bridging wire bonds across the gaps on the frog/point rails have been removed and bonds soldered linking each sto...

However the engine is missing cylinder drain cock pipes but more crucially the tender top filler is also missing (reflected in the price paid). See image.

Thanks for the comments Richard, progress has been much slower than I envisaged. I must stop standing there and just looking! After a little hiccup with a short, the two main looped eight running lines are up and running. Next stage is to lift the engine shed yard (rhs upper level) and install all t...

Thanks Richard, had a look, the red brick might just be what I'm looking for.

Keep the pictures coming, they're inspiring.
