Re: LOW GHYLL
My track looks like it has ballast sprinkled on and around it, yours looks like you laid the ballast first then embedded the track into it.
Wish I had you patience.

Re: LOW GHYLL
The lights are great. Do you remember the website that you ordered them from/
Thanks,

Re: LOW GHYLL
Four boards now have their signal lights fitted, just the shed area to do now. Looks a bit like a council house at Christmas.

Re: LOW GHYLL
I had hoped for a day out with the Memsahib today, but the weather down here wasn’t up to much - might have another try tomorrow.
So I finished the lights on the last board.

Re: LOW GHYLL
I’ll probably be accused of stating the bl##ding obvious but I’ll post this anyway.
When I repaired the scenery around the base of the new signals I followed the normal practice of fixing the ballast etc in place with dilute PVA.
When I tested the everything once it was reinstalled in the shed, I noticed a couple of the lights that should have been off were showing a slight glow. Initially I thought this may have been light from one led bleeding into the other, but now the glue has dried the glowing has stopped.
I assume the PVA had got inside the heatshrink and allowed a small amount of current to flow.

I know I'm new to modeling but I do appreciate pointers like this. It may be obvious to others but not so obvious to non-modelers on the scene 
. Thank you.

Re: LOW GHYLL
the ground signals look really good, certainly add something to the trackside, how are they switched?
Re: LOW GHYLL
They use the switch built in to the Seep PM1 point motors. The mimic board LEDs utilise the same switches.
