Wiring

If like me you don't understand electrics you'll need someone to either wire it, or at least help point you in the right direction.

For me Roger Elkin of The ET-MRC helped me out. I sent him a diagram of my layout, where I wanted locos to be held and he then sent it back as a wiring diagram - so many thanks Roger!

Now it's Sunday 6pm and I spent the best part of two hours trying to solder a section of the layout, only to find out I was soldering the wrong end of the layout. It turned out the problem was a broken connection via the switching box, once I'd located the problem, I fixed it in 30 seconds.

So here's the second tip, before re-soldering something, check to make sure it's the correct connection!
