wiring an insulfrog double slip? title should read INSULFROG Ive got an double slip, but i dont know how to wire it, its a peco SL-390f (N-gauge, code55, insulfrog) - im wireing it into a DCC layout, and i dont know how goes? -As its insulfrog (unlike the rest of the turnouts) i assum...

I toasted both of my ZTC decorders, aparntly the grayham farish motors had lost some of the magnatism, and thus what drawing more current, and that when the decoders where a bit under rated, especially when working in thre wire mode. - so i got them remagnetised, and the chassis isolated, so...

I was wondering what people useally do to store there rolling stock, i currently only have 12 waggons/vans and 5 coaches - i have boxes for about 1/2 of them, but puting it in therre after avery time i run them, just never happens and they and up geting left and damaged - i had though of...

also i have ordered "adventurous track plans" and the "PSL Book of Track Plans" from the liberey, which might help me know more about yard designs, becuase having still never operated or desigened one before, i really dont know where to start still! daniel

from what i know (very little) - the halls where fairly powerfull mixxed trafic locos, runing both passenger and freight equally often and equally well? - the praires where "suburban passenger" - and did a bit of light freightwork? - and the panneirs did small passenger trains...

Ok, thanks - i know the rails could be joined well (i have a bit of code80 laying about) - the yard is on show, so i guess i'll just stick with the 55 if the yard is noramly lower rail than the main. - also, most of my layout uses meduim radius points (18in radus) but as the track is...

I currently have two Grayhamfarish GWR (green) locos, a hall and a pannier and a fair bit of matching GWR rolling stock. And im looking to get a third loco, and i was wondering what i should get! - should i get a 2nd hand Grayhamfarish, just like the other two - should i get one of...

yeah, i was wondering how well a design would work if i just fliped it over, does it matter if all the turnouts are LH not RH, is that "wrong" - will it affect oprational ablity at all?

I have two grayham farish locos (lookin to get another soon) - but i think the brushes on one of them have worn out? and i was wondering where i can get a set of replacement brushes (in the UK) - can i get them online of bachman? or would i be better trying to find a model shop who do...

ALso, i wonder if you could do somthink with a point sonide and indexing hole for each posstion - if you powerd it round with a geared down motor, and then, when you got near to the right line up, you gently energize the point motor (say at 8v) which would then fall into the indexing hole...

ok, i have a smallish N layout which is done in code55 flexi, and im about to buy the track for doing the yard at the back. - im wondering, should i stick with code 55 to keep it the same thoughout - or can i use code 80 for the yard without it looking odd (i can get code80 cheap off...

ok, sound fair enough - i was just wondering if anyone had any problems with eather of them, before i buy a dosen - as you say the hornby ones are very simular looking, with three very short wires on them, which are wire to the coild via the bi of pcb that holds it all together...

im laying onto 4mm flooring cork, ontop of 6mm play base board, but even with the cork the noise it more than i like, so i might look into some damping on the bottom of the ply daniel

yeah, i have wall al arounf my layout, or else the track work is a long way from the edge! - my brother sill managed to nose-dive my Grafar tender loco and 6 coaches of the end of siding - he miss read the points (AGAIN) and went off the end at full power, taking the buffers with him over...

yeah, for a while now ive been wondering how on earth im going to do signals (old fasioned moving are type) in n gauge.

yeah, thats what i think its for, anything trying to go out onto the main line get derailed, away from the main (not just in any direction) - i dont believe its designed to work in thw other direction at all (eather to drail, or to allow things to passed un affeced) - i think the missing...

I also am looking to fit a motorised N gauge turntable to my layout, i know peco sells turntables, and show a picture of a some maccarno being used to make it spin? - but i dont under stand how a normal maccarno motor would be accutrate enough at locating it, surely it would need a steper...

i assume you talking about expanded polystreine foam?

Im just about to electrify the 15 or so points on my n-guage (peco code55)layout, and i was wondering what motors to use - i have two points electrifyed with hornby units, which are screwed directly to the underside of the baseboard, with the pin reaching though a 5mm hole to the point...

wow, thanks, thats cool daniel
