 We are assisting in rebuilding one of the Southampton MRS exhibition layouts to enhance its operational capabilities and possibly add some animations.\\
 The layout is being controlled by MERG CBUS and DCC modules.  It will be controlled using route selection from a single control panel and one or two CANCABs will be used for loco control.\\
-At the November workshop we continued wiring the MERG modules and track feeds on the scenic section.\\
-The Track wiring on the new rear lower level section for the storage and a reversing loop was completed and the 16 point servos installed and set up using the FCU.  An update with pictures is in our area group page on the forum.\\
+We just missed the Southampton show, despite an extra session working on the control system. The scenic section is a complicated layout with three interconnected reversing loops using DCC unfriendly points, so accurate timing and sequencing is required to avoid shorts.\\
-Any help would be appreciated as we hope to have it ready for the Southampton show in January 2020.\\
-We can work on it at other times when the club room is open.\\
