The more of my layout i am including the the automation side of things, the more complex it is becoming; to the extent thast hardly anyone on ths forum would have the patience and brainpower to follow the step by step logic. But at the moment I have only got 2 switch drives 4 track contacts and 1 supplementary switch involved; but tjhe next step will include another 2 switch drives, 2 supplemnetary switches and 4 track contacts. this will be in and going in abpout 3 weeks. These two actions willbe cumulative in complexity. <br /> <br />Then when i do my next extension, which wont be untill after i come back from Europe in August, these figures will be increased by at least twofold and more in some areas and then it will be anything but KISS as all these sections causes the complexity to become to also be cumulative. <br /> <br />However all parts will be LGB, except the connection wires; I will have somehting like nearly 100 possibilities in what happens as the loco proceeds through the various sets of points, track contacts and over riding supplementary switches. Every part of my complex layout will be traversed in an apparent random fashion in both directois of travel for 1 and half circuits before going on, except the anticlockwise reversing loop then the only firection of traverse which will be clockwise. <br /> <br /> <br />Rgds ian
