So you use LGB Track or a similar type. If you are unsure about your Track Layout and wish to have some form of Isolation then this simple method is just for you. It also is very useful if you take LGB Track to a Show and set a Temporary Layout up on Tables. I think that the two pictures will tell you all that you need to know. But just to be sure I used a Single Pole on/off Micro Switch coupled with an LGB Isolator. This one was made some 20 Years ago, these  days for Isolation I would use a Massoth Isolating Track Clamp. Would make the Track somewhat more robust.

As you can see, the Switch is relatively unobtrusive from a general viewpoint. You could put a small Colour Tag onto the Switch. These are available from varying electrical suppliers. Black if you want to disguise it or Red if you need to find it easier. I find these also useful with DCC on occasion.

A good friend of mine has made some of these up utilising the LGB Track Isolation Section that comes with some of the LGB Signals, the Red Dot on mine was to identify my Track when we did joint Shows with our LGB Track.

That's a neat idea..
We have created a set of sidings, and at present sit the wheels (one-side) on last years Chasewater leaflet / timetable to isolate the loco's.. This is a much better idea! - to be fair, we just haven't got that far yet.. My excuse, and sticking to it!! ;)
