Hi all.
Just thought I would pass on a small trap that I experienced when wiring up the turntable.
I am setting up a C (with some K) Track layout and have been flat out wiring up the points and uncouplers with signals to come. Cheaper and more fun than digital in my mind.
Anyway came time to wire up the turntable and I followed the instructions religiously
The turntable worked fine but the track feed failed once the turntable was turned away from the main line.
I rechecked all the wiring which was fine so before giving up and sending an SOS, I had a coffee break and went back under to retrace all the wiring.
Found the fault - ME!
I had connected the track feed to the accessories transformer!
Why? Because all the other wiring I had done up to that stage had been connected to that transformer as well!

Is it just wonderful,when the problem just kinde of solved it selv after a good cup of coffee.
It gives, at least me, a burst of self confidens.
Best of luck with the rest of the wiring.

I think we have all been there, you just get into a routine and sometimes it's difficult to break out of it right away. Doing a self QA is always a good idea.
