A little more upbeat Willie and fitted in better - length wise - with the clip. Your also probably right about it being a bit more familiar with some people.

I am still confused as to how the "switch" gets its power if the power wire goes from the power source directly to the Signal, or doesn't the switch need it - power that is?

Guys, I am not questioning anything your saying - just trying to figure it out and understand it.

Electricity always has to make a loop, so I made a diagram that shows the wiring diagram and how the electricity flows when the switch is set is set to the "red" position. From power through the selector switch to the red LED and then back to the power supply. Does that help?

This is one of those "down times" when I contemplate what to next, I mean what to "specifically" do next. The open area on the "other side of the tracks" is what I am contemplating and I have a number of options. It could turn into the "sleazy side of the tracks" or it may be a bit of a ritzy, secluded area, or it maybe recreational or it ma just be virgin bushland with stuff in it. I wish I knew how far to the right of it all I was going to be able expand as that might make a difference with what I do.

Anyway - as said a bit of down time while I figure this out :)
 
Moving forward, a little. Going to try a new way (for me) of building up my scenery, hills and so forth. using scrunched up news paper covered with plaster. If it works as I envisage, it will save a lot of time and mess:

Next, my little Dwarf Sigs arrived this morning as well:

Got a bunch of resistors with them as well ;) 😃

All I have to do is wait for the switches to turn up and from what I see - they should also be arriving today, maybe :rolleyes:😃

I wonder how many of these little guys I can destroy before I get it right ??? :p:D
