You know when they say if you look at a problem hard enough it WILL come to you, well in this case it didn't
. Let me explain, whilst trying to make WL pleasing to the eye I decided in my wisdom to solder copper wire to the outside of the running rails at the end of the flexi track to bond them together for electrical continuity, keeping them inline with the running rails, all good says we . I stupidly didn't knock the small nails all of the way into the board so the track could be leveled and there was a very low resistance between the rails. It took my father to point out that the bonds were touching the nails the boards then acting as a path between the + and =- hence the reading. I could kick myself

Cynric can we have some more smileys please especially one with a big boot kicking ones Arse

Basics man, basics d'oh
Electrical 101 but sometimes you can't see the wood for the trees, never built a layout outside before and certainly never got this far. Roberto was there and I was going to run his loco's then that happened

I couldn't help but notice that the ultra reliable Hymek DIESEL HYDRAULIC spent most of it's time running round with the breakdown train.......is this a bit like the AA just in case those diesel electrics breakdown ? 
Seriously though, very nice video mate
....what make are the Blood & Custard MK1's ?

Interesting that it was harder to tell when they were in motion... but as soon as I read that they were Heljans, I could see the flat sides........what make are the Blood & Custard MK1's ?

Certainly has the potential to be a busy layout - nice video Ian!! You're not helping the case for re-instating your Avatar's Blue connections though....
