Well its good news, because after moving almost every connection to its correct bus line, I have separated the two circuits, and the shorts have disappeared.The Allanvale section is completely isolated from the old helix. Yeiiii!!
To get this happening I had to ensure all 7 Tortoise motors were power feeding from the BG circuits. Everyone was red wired to the BG bus but black wired to the SG bus...fixed.
The diamond crossover was part of the BG system but was wired as a SG section, and so I changed the droppers to BG bus, and found some of the BG points were connected fully or partly to the SG system... Fixed.
It has taken me all this time to reach the stone quarry track work, and so I will continue on to the helix and fix any other problems, or even just tidy up the wiring.
That means the difficult part, left, will be the wheat silo and new station yard.
I am also fixing the point motor switches and gluing in the mountings which were only loosely fitted.
So having a break after 3 hours of solid work, and back into it after lunch
And so if the mess is an indication of the works carried out? It sure is a mess :D
Cheers
