An interface is required to control
the current from the DCC buss. I used 4 x 1.5kOhm resistors to achieve this
switching is accomplished from DCC Concepts point motor using the inbuilt
switch, however I have other points controlled
with Peco motors which will require micro switches.

Coloured light signals
I bought 3 Train-tech SK1 signal
kits cheap from that well know Liverpool retailer. After languishing in the
to-do box for a wee while I decided to make a start. I ordered 20pcs Multi-colour T0402 Pre-soldered Wired LED’s in
green and 20 in red from China for £10 and set about incorporation the into the
signal head. I will leave the photos to show the method of construction. At full
retail price this method works out £3.75 cheaper per signal.
