You make a good point regarding stay alive! 🤔 Perhaps there’s an automated gizmo that tells the engine to stop, rather than cutting power to make it do so? The technology certainly exists within those shuttle units you see used on end to ends… I think Everard Junction did a video on one?
While watching this great episode I realised a shortcoming in my layout control plan, specifically that a "stay-a-live" powered engine will not recognise a dead section of track, which was intended to act as a fail safe against a detection error. Well back to the drawing board. Best regards
Enjoyed watching this, as I do with all of your videos. Your storage sidings are really well thought out, and love the control panel. Looking forward for more, take care. Caz
Wow, nigel, those storage sidings are so complicated. Ive modified mine since the hornby mag article. I now have 10 but ive added crossovers so trains can now reverse in them
Good to see a video from you again.
Look forward to the continued 31 saga in due course!
Best wishes from a retired S&T man.
Good to see you back, this was interesting 👍 explanation vid 👍
You need your own Regional Control, with AOMs to keep that all moving! Top stuff!
absolutely amazing.... I am in awe...

I know right 🤔😖😑
Good evening Mr train man 😃 Really enjoyed the technical aspects of the dead sections in the (fiddle yard) storage sidings 👍🏻

Simple in theory, complex in reality!
