Good Morning All,

So, last night I decided I have to take on the wiring for the points  :eek:
8 points is 16 wires (blue, left and rights) and 2 power (grey and yellow).

I made up all the wires for the external plug and solder everything together and fitted the Marklin connector plugs for the point boxes.

10PM power was going off so I had to stop there for now.
Tonight I will connect all the yellow power wires and then I can test  :biggrin:

Cool, speak again, Cheers, Evert

Good Morning All......

Electrical work is done for now......
Everything is connected up and I started to test last night.  :biggrin:
Looks like everything is working well.
I also added a isolater between the inner and outer loops so I can run both controllers on the track or one on catenary and oe on the track.
Very cool......  :thumb:

Cheers, Evert and hope you all have a great day and weekend.
Speak again soon.

Saturday afternoon - my place?
For long you live and high you fly
And smiles you'll give and tears you'll cry
And all you touch and all you see
Is all your life will ever be

Just keep the transformer on dry land. :biggrin:

See in the back - the builder left a window. Now when it gets too hot we just open a window... :biggrin:

Hello All.......

Right, so I have been playing with the idea to re-build this layout.
I want to recreate it using Plexiglass  :biggrin: Think it will give an awesome effect.

Then I also received a Marklin mini-club turntable as a gift. So I want to incorporate it into the layout.
So here is my December Holiday project  :innocent:

I fanally managed to buy the Plexiglass.
3 different colour Blue and Milky White, all 3mm thick.
