Point control

Using this diagram..(yes I know I shouldn't need one but why work it out when someone has done it for you)



from here..

Tips and tricks

I decided to create this to finally control my points.On the other side is a layout diagram of my line.






Cost me £12 for the on-off-on momentary switches from the local model shop

Using point switches I'm going to use feedback lights lights on the board to indicate line direction.

Tested...and it works.

I like cheap...

Here's the front.Not the prettiest thing in the world but that can be worked on later...



The push and the bell are origional tram stock
The children have to push the bell button when they've changed a point.That way I know what's going to crash into what..

For those that know my line,the bell is where the shed is

No telling what your job is then.

My wiring would look like a fight between two ugly spiders.

Troy, I am a bit confused by this. You have lots of switches and lots of wire going into chocolate blocks but only 4 wires "out" , presumably two are for power in and the other two go to points ? So do all the points throw together ? Otherwise I would have expected a lot more wires coming out. Sorry but I just can't follow it at all.

The picture was taken at the testing stage with just a feed wire coming in.
It now has plug in connector strip wired to a central point at the top of the garden.Each point has 2 wires going to it,i.e. 8 points =16 wires leaving the board.
