Hi Everyone. HELP!!
Please can any one help me with wiring my layout as i am rather useless with electrics on model railways i have wired it up but it doesn't run as i want it to. I have included a small diagram to show you what the layout looks like in a basic form including points etc
Hopefully you can see the image!.
It is basically a passing loop with a platform each side of the tracks with an engine shed (Shown) and a run carrying on to the left for dmu's etc.
I want to be able to bring a train in on the top line run round the train and come back into the station where i want to the keep the train in the loop whilst i bring a DMU in to stop at the lower track (other side of loop) and still have the 1ST train not moving (as it does at the moment).
I would like to then switch points to then allow the 1ST train out of the station while the DMU stays put.
Any help would be a fantastic encouragement to me as at the moment i am pulling my hair out!!! (I havn't got that much to pull out either)
Information i think i will need will be where the power would go and isolating fishplates/break in the track etc.
Thanking you all in anticipation
