Once all the points are configured you can pick a route by simply clicking and dragging on the diagram. You can also set one click keys to handle repetitive routes. There's no easy way to do this analog without miles of cables and custom circuits.

BigBear DCC actually. I'm finding it very straightforward to use !

For me I find the technology actually simplifies the task but then I've been working in IT for 15 years!

The blue boxes are Cobalt digital point motors. http://www.dccconcepts.com/index_files/Cobalt_turnout_motor.htm The whole layout uses them for digital switching. They make wiring much simpler and will work well with the computer controlled route management.

Tomorrow's task!

Making progress! This is the CTC version of Amiens street and the facing yards.

Ah just lovely wiggy:)

Onwards and upwards

No truth in it. Just a half baked former someone with an axe to grind Ignore willfully

Looking amazing k! The das looks very effective! You're giving me loads of inspiration for Amiens at !

Lovely capture!

I also have some HO per way kit which looks fine too as long as not too close to the OO

Just gets better and better Anthony! Thanks for sharing!

Impressive little thing!!

Check for replacement tips too. You'll normally find listings on eBay etc. the tip will eventually wear away so being able to replace it with readily available spares is a must have.

Just wow!! Pure quality!

Halfords do a 40w iron that's extremely good for 20 euro last I looked.

Stacks of balsa?

Hey Bman - welcome! Hoping you can find those photos!

The Site Forums are: Irish Railway Modelling which contains 11 high level forums, all relating to Irish Railway Modelling (primarily models of Irish railways but as I said it works both ways) Followed by a small section on Photo Galleries - full of reference material for the Irish Railway modeller Then Railway Related modelling - showcase skills and models related to your model layout, be that buses or planes, or trucks or buildings (still on topic here as far as I can see) Then we have a very clearly delineated "Non irish railway modelling" section, where those modellers who look to the British, US, Canadian or other outlines can share their skills and experiences. Then we have a forum for almost every single supplier of service, goods, models, materials and similar - all directly there due to the relevance to the Irish Railway modeller. In addition, we have a Blog section for Irish Railway Modellers can keep a diary - http://irishrailwaymodeller.com/blog.php Albums - for your Irish railway Modelling photos and videos http://irishrailwaymodeller.com/album.php A Calendar - for items of interest to the irish Railway Modeller http://irishrailwaymodeller.com/calendar.php And an extensive and growing Resources Section - http://irishrailwaymodeller.com/content.php - containing prototype drawings and a database of Irish Railway Models. Pretty clear to me what the site is about :) To requote the 'goal' for the site when it was created: The goal is to run an open, transparent community for the irish railway modeller and modelling.

Can't beat a pair of briatols alright! (Ill get me coat)

As Glenderg said its a 'bit of everything. You can take it to be those that model the railways of Ireland or those who railway model who live in Ireland or are Irish. We're a fairly open bunch really :)

Great idea all in place. Looking forward to some posts. My own very first modeling was air fix kits, a spitfire if memory serves!
