You've missed that my Switch works as an on / off switch. When turned off, the traffic lights complete their current cycle and then stop on red. When turned on, one sequence is triggered and it triggers the other when finished, which in turn triggers the first sequence again and so on, as long as the switch is in the "on" position.

I see; my system uses a different principle, with an independent Timer, so the lights can be changed for a different delay in a stroke, and stop/start automatically (no manual switch at all...). Hmm... Both work, as published. Ignore my suggestion. I'd recommend, though, having 'Auto-accelerate' 'On' for the cars, and to have a uniform 'Slow-down' speed in the deceleration contact, simply for tidiness. Another 'slow-down' speed could be useful, though, if the cars had different speeds. Just sayin'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Goetz EUREKA ---- I've made the necessary amendments and hey presto all is now working well. I am most grateful for your guidance. Now to have some fun in the actual layout whilst at the same time being more careful with my EV. Pete traffic light test layout.mbp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
