thanks for all the comments and encouragement. The UK snooker championship is starting soon so everything will have to be boxed up probably at the week end.

Recently new to this site and I thought id share some photos (hope they uploaded successfully). Its not a permanent layout, it shares an attic room with my sons snooker table, so every three months of so its put together for a few weeks. It all dis-assembles and fits in a storage space. Half the fun is figuring out the layout, one of the main constraints is the point operation, they all have to reached manually while standing in the cut out. Over the last few years i've 'irish-ised' the stock and hope to complete this over the next year. Future plans are to make it permanent (hopefully larger, when someone goes to college next year!!) loosely based on some industrial/freight environment, motorise all the points, get a 121, figure out how to do buildings and scenery. So I should be here for the next 15 to 20 years or so.

Thanks guys for the responses. I'm using a 4 function chip, so that may be the problem, i'll try F8 and see what happens. On the instructions in the MM box its says F3 and F4 are the respective cab lights.

Bought one a few weeks ago, only now getting to try it out. As everybody knows they are absolutely fabulous. I put in a 4 pin chip and its runs fab, but cant seem to get the cab lights working, tried F3 and F4 but no joy. Any ideas? (hornby elite controller).
