thanks very much jetrock, that plan is excellent. ill definately use the majority of it with maybe a few minor modifications myself. i knew that the bends werent perfect but its was just a rough sketch to give you all an idea what i was trying to do.

yeah hes right woodie. but your idea would work too. its just a pain, to go to all that effort and then if you go to that effort then it starts distracting your work, then you get fired and then you realise that there was no need to write the program.....

thanks graham, its all starting to make sense now.

excellent, thanks graham. The photo would be a great help. Thanks again, Conor

yeah thats a great help graham. im thinking of buying a digitrax zephyr at the moment and then in a month or 2 when i get ued to how to run trains im thinking of changing to computer control. so basically i ill need the interface that digitrax produces going into 1 serial port and then a second...

i posted this subject in the tech forum and they recommended i should post it here so heres the link to the thread in the other forum. post replys here, its probably easier. Basically i should clarify, i want to power and control DCC enabled trains with a DCC type system (no need for awkward...

ok so i pretty much know what im going to be buying but now i need to power it all. i was initially just going to for DC but i ws thinking of just going DCC but then i was on diditrax website and i saw an interface for computers.

sorry i should point out that the pink line running above the tunnel should go on passed where it turns back out. it should turnout at the next blue line instead. oh and you might notice i have simplified the design (less turnouts etc) aswell

thanks jetrock. neil i know that i have to pay vat and shipping but internettrains.com have pretty reasonable shipping. like i said before im familiar with shipping from the states and anyway you dont always get taxed, its a kind of order and hopew situation. the shipping takes 5-7 days...

thanks for pointing that coal thing out jetrock. i know that coal mines were not generally found on logging railroads, but im basically setting up a mainline that will be common for logging and coal at the moment and in the future i will introduce a passenger service.

my track layout is in the logging forum under my thread Starting A Logging Railway. Im in ireland by the ay but my supplies are coming from an american based internet site.

thanks for the advice people.i like that bachmann spectrum neil. i might just get that. as for the walkin thing, i was thinking about access just last night. Im going to work on a way of getting to the middle but space isnt a huge problem. Ive got an entire attic at my disposal, (its floored...

sorr to post yet again, but i thought id share my plans with you, i just hope this uploads. its pretty simple. there will be a valley with hills to each side and a river flowwing through it. The blue lines are the rails, the black lines are the roads. The town is beside the lake and will...
