    We did move "Broughton" into the layout room. And as per the top plan in the last update, that is the best oriantation so far looking at it 1:!

    Good to see the room clean, I wish mine was..

    Just a quick question, how high is the top level of your layout?

    Cheers for that David,

    I am thinking of adding a 3rd level to my current layout that will have to be 1650mm from the floor. While it will be on the highish side there wont be a great deal of shunting to do up there if I do it

    I should also  'fess up to somehow programming all my locos at once to  "164"  when trying to reset that loco. Oops!!!
    I then had to take ALL locos off and reprogram them one by one !!! What fun ! You would have  enjoyed my expression when I throttled up tp see most of my locos move at the same time !

    Still fun !

    David

    ps yes it is a NCE powerpro system, but all the fault is mine !

    It could be done with JMRI and forwarding a few ports out to the Internet over a router...

    Not sure how you'd go with authentication and stopping Joe Bloggs coming along and randomly grabbing locos and controlling them though! Laughing

    While he still has volts on the rail (as opposed to a battery in the loco) he can have the signalling system cutting power to a length of track in front of any red signal to stop SPADs.
