Ballasting 
  Just about to start doing the ballasting on my now pinned down/laid model railway, I understand from research you need to mix 50/50 of Wood Glue and water? Whats the best way to mix this? I dont want to make too much.. How do you measure it correctly etc etc, to make sure the consistancy is correct?... more »

Layout drawing software 
  Once you have your layout mapped out/designed/pinned down and points all wired up for DCC, is there any good software (free or commercial) that allows you to put this in the computer/PC and then mark up points/turnouts (and dcc accessory numbers), signals (and dcc numbers) etc. ? Now my layout is done and before I add scenery etc, I want to knock up... more »

Hornby Accessory Decoders? 
  I have a quick question on DCC accessory decoders, that hopefully has an easy answer. On the Hornby Select, it will only expect/allow the start address from 61 onwards, I am assuming that is because as an entry level/start DCC controller, the addresses 1-59/60 are used for locomotives etc. On the Hornby Elite, it makes references to the start accessory address... more »

Lighting and Signals 
  As a newbie (well back into model railways again), I was wondering now with DCC, what is the best power supply feed/way to drive those devices (signals, lighting, and anything else that relies on) 12v DC power? I have gone straight in to DCC and love it, however even though my intro to DCC via the Hornby Select and now using the Gaugemaster... more »

Lighting and other non-DCC devices. 
  As a newbie to DCC, is the voltage used on this generally AC? And is it about 18v? Or have I been living on another planet… Anyway my point or question is, that with a normal train controller (Select, Elite, GaugeMaster etc), there are certain things that need still 12v DC supply, signals, maybe some lighting etc, what is the... more »

Auto Reverse Units? 
  I'm using conventional DC trains in S scale and attempting to run point to point with the train stopping at one end and self reversing to the other, etc... Can anyone recommend a good autoreverse unit? Thanks.
