Gentlemen; I have actually now fixed the problem 100 % I have removed the second point motor from S13 and connected the remaining motor to an LGB 12070 supplementary switch whis is designed to be incorporated in an LGB 12010 switch drive and i have selected nearby S15A to operate it. When S15 A is in straight through mode, the S13 switch can only be operated by the 17100 track contact and when in the divert position it can only be actuated by the MTS command. I have actually connected these two circuits to the supplementary switch as well. So when S15 is on straight through the loco will go around the reversing loop it will ignore the first 12070 as they are directional and operate the second 12070 which will switch the S13 over so that the trailing side of its switch is in the correct position. These track contacts are very interesting as they are directional and are operated by a 17010 magnet attached to the bottom of your loco. in a simialr but opposite manner to how are sound magnet works. When S15 is in the bypass mode you can switch the S13 by MTS command so that the loco will go straight ahead and then through S15 and into the area 3 loop. you then put S15 into the through mode; again you can go around the circuit and any new locos coming into the reversing loop will be turned around as they should be and go back straight out into area 2 from whence they came. Incidentally i disagree with LGB's terminology to do with the description of the 12070 sup switch and i have seen other organisations that describe these switches the same way that LGB do. They describe it as as double throw doublw pole switch. The double pole quite correct but it is only a single throw switch. From my training double throw switches must have a centre position and the switch goes either side of the centre hance double throw. If any of you guysd can post photographs please email me and i wil send a few photographs that will explain the whole thing a lot better than i have its pretty simple really but i knwow i have made it sound complicated. Rgds ian.
