I mean apart from the wider argument for not using braking modules at all in favour of total PC control. Thanks Jabez Hi Jabez, I know you don't want to raise the issue but I gave up using those braking modules mainly because of the added wiring complexity. I used Marklin, another German manufacturer and finished with my own. Later I got fed-up to do wiring Under the lay-out I switched to PC control (Rocrail). Yes there is some learning to do (forums help) but so much flexibility later and added security that I wouldn't consider returning to wired signals Here is my train in operation: Cheers Jean

I just want to get it going and when I had a good running time I'll hopefully get the courage to install the Rocrail system. John
