Joined: 22/09/2009(UTC) Posts: 1,988 Location: Edinburgh,		Hi This is my first attempt at 2 rail and wiring up. I am trying to replicate the wiring given in the instructions to the 8589 circuit switch track. This looks to give automatic train control to two trains on the same track with a passing loop. This is what i hope to achieve. The photo shows the instructions that came with it. What I can't see is how power is delivered to each of the isolated sections. I presume that I should wire up the isolated sections as per the instructions with the 89391 signal? Any guidance gratefully received. Many thanks Mike

Many thanks Mike Hi Mike, I assume the three lots of grey shaded connections (by the 8589 labels) are track power feeds?

Looking at other M guidance, a grey wire is normally an earth to the grey connection on the Z transformer. It is an accessory earth wire. Who knows if that's right or you are? As I have seen on another site, the M wiring diagrams can "do your head in". Mike
