Hi All,
I am new to this so please forgive me if my question is very basic.
I had planned to do a loop system and a long track but after consulting colleagues on this forum I decided to do an oval - it is about 22 metres long. I had already purchased a Piko point so I have decided to do just one siding off the main track.
I have tried laying the track on the grass with the point and siding and it does appear to work OK but the siding appears to be live all the time. I can live with this and not park any locos in the siding, just rolling stock.
Is it that simple or am I missing a trick? I know it is a basic issue but I do want to get it right.
Any help or suggestions will be gratefully received.
Kind regards,
Dave
