As anyone who has ever written anything longer than a note for the milkman will know, errors creep in to any written work.

When you are putting a book together they creep in, and sometimes creep back in once they have been corrected. Even worse, as soon as the book goes to print someone turns up new information.

So, I have started a page on my website to record the new information (and balls-ups) that come to light in my scribblings.

You can find it here.

And if you find anything that I ought to know about - you know where I am!

It doesn't matter how careful you are with proof reading and editing, there will always be at least one mistake that slips through and only gets spotted after publishing! I know this from my experience editing magazines for two associations I belong to.

Ian i wouldn't say its the end of the world, just like buying a new PC as soon as you walk out the shop it's out of date. The same applies to DCC thats why you are into a second edition.

As for the LED..hey ho every manufacturers instructions i have seen in DCC that use LED's describe the leg lengths so i doubt you will be responsible for 100's of layouts going dark?
