Well I finally have power to my track, and the issue that has now raised its head is that the LGB R1 points are NOT isolating as I had been told they were.........
This needs a bit of thinking.......
Now in 009 I simply cut the rails, solder a piece of wire to one end of the track, solder that to a simple two way switch, and then solder the other side of the switch to the other side of the rails.
In G Scale I guess that would mean placing an insulating rail joiner, then running wires under my boards to switches in my summerhouse (to keep them out of the weather and where the controller is) and then back to the track.
Or are there weatherproof switches that folks can recommend?
I'm not using powered points (my simple LGB controller doesn't have the output for them anyway) so being able to switch the isolating sections at the same time as the point switches would be handy!
Any advice?
