Signal Post

Can you confirm that when you have both points set for the outer mainline (i.e. the black track in the diagram) that a train will run around the complete oval without entering the red loop and that this will work in either direction (i.e. if you reverse the direction of travel by using the switch on the controller) without any problem affecting that train/loco? That may sound a bit complicated, what I mean is if you send a train from the "bottom" of the diagram through the points that you have labelled as "L/H Point" along the single black line in the diagram past point X then through the "R/H Point" and on up to the top of the diagram and then change the direction of travel (with the controller) and travel in the reverse direction all the way from top to bottom? Ideally if you could put up photo of both L/H and R/H points points this might be a help. Also do you know if the points are Hornby or a different brand?

A very interesting and enjoyable evening at the museum, many thanks to yourself and your friends there for putting it on. A pity I wasn't able to join ye in Duffy's afterwards unfortunately an early start this morning precluded that (work, the curse of the drinking classes). Your idea about future gatherings sounds like like a good one...
