Didn't wire up signals but did finish wiring up the point motors
Yes, I pushed on with under layout wiring while the board is tipped up on its side to make access easy and didn't get on with the fiddle parts of wiring up my signal which I must do tomorrow. Anyway, I am using the old Tortoise turnout motor by Circuitron because I have preinvested in them many years ago and had a play with the initial generation of Cobalts back in the day and wasn't happy with their power sensitivity (short video on my bench top comparison of the Cobalt to Tortoise plus how I set up my Tortoise out of the box). I use the internal Single Pole Double Throw (SPDT) switch contacts of the Tortoise to change the polarity of my frog or common crossing of my points or turnout. That way it keeps wiring relatively minimised and compact. Not that you could really say it looks like any wiring on my layout has been minimised now could you?
