In Control

Time to tame the electrical demons.

The back of a control panel. Starting to drill some holes for block isolation switches:

These are DPDT center-off switches which will route power to a block (for example, the "Up Main"). The theory is that with the switch in the up position, power will be routed to the track from the "UP" controller, if down, from the "DOWN" controllers, and, as the name suggests, no connections are made when the switch is in the center position.

If I wasn't so impatient I would have something clever done with that front panel but can't wait now...

Input plug from the two controllers connected to the busses behind:

Connected to the track sections tag board:

And tacked into place on the layout:

A few more wires to attach ...
