Hi Wiggy, I made the schematic from sections of the layout in Anyrail, I copied the sections in Anyrail to a new drawing. Printed it out on A4 and then glued t to 6mm MDF then covered it with clear contact adhesive.
The switches I got on Ebay,
I used bi-colour 3mm LED's red/green.
You will need bezels and a 1k resistor.
I used the Peco PL-15 twin micro switch, one for switching the polarity on the electrofrog and the other to switch the LED's on the mimic panel, I also fitted some signals to the platform level, they also switch with the points.
Here's a couple of pics of the mimic panel

wiggy-NIR bought 6 of the original seacow type hoppers from British Rail in the early 80s.They were numbered C431 to C436,with the numbers in the bottom left hand corner of each side of each wagon in black.The NIR logo was in blue and this was on the second panel from the right on each side of the wagon located middle to top.
Glenderg-I dont have much info on the more modern type hoppers that arrived in the 90s,I never saw them in the flesh as I had already left Northern Ireland before their arrival,but they were built by a French supplier called Arbel Fauvel according to 35 years of NIR by Jonathan Allen.
Thanks for the info Hunslet 102

The other older ones with the rivetted side panels - the seacows/walrus have gone by the way of the dodo bar one?
Re the older ones, Seacow/Walrus etc, How many of them were there and any running numbers.

Does anyone know how many of these Seacows NIR owned and the wagon number range.
