This morning, on my return journey, from Yeadon Airport

Futher along, it runs along the side of a public park, with no fences

Note the southbound HST, & how close we came to an overlap


The return was meant to have been hauled by D9009 Alycidon. but it failed at Berwick upon Tweed, apparantly

Batley, this afternoon

Lady Ann Road

The defunct Batley - Beeston - Leeds line
The bridge deck was on the corner

Lady Anns Crossing Signal Box
LampLands
The pedestrian gates are mechanically (magnetically?) locked when a train is due, as the visibility (especially from the side I'm stood) is quite restricted
Whether they're linked into the signalling, or controlled by the box-keeper, I have no idea?

Howley Mill Lane
Upper Batley
1840s, & unusual, in that it accommodates a stream that seems to appear from a culvert under the embankment, only to pass back to the same side it appeared from!

I might have a trip over to either Ferrybridge, or Burton Salmon, this afternoon, to see the 'Duchess'

Models now

We bought my f-in-l a trio of DCC Concept switch levers, & the relevant motors, a few weeks ago, whilst in Settle (& their own power-supply)

Now, unless we're being especially daft, we can't see how to connect it all together, in the diagrams
The power seems to go directly to the point motor, but no allowance (as we see) for the switch

If other things hadn't happened yesterday, I'd have had a drive up to the shop, at Settle (just behind the station, where the old sidings were)


Suggestions, please?
Simple drawings?

Seen that already, thankyou, but it's a bit "Whoosh...….. over the head!!"


I think he's going to ring them, & ask for a drawing of the circuit required to be emailed (without all the extra details in the book)

[Richard A Thackeray]

Thankyou, that's rather better
I believe he has rung them today though

Tell me about it. That's why I use wire in tube: it's a complex as my brain can handle...

Telephone wire is best. Single outer coat/sheath with colour coded wires inside.
