Track-laying progress
Big day yesterday, nice to have the time off work. Amazing how time consuming it is though, especially when you are putting droppers on every piece of track... I Installed 2 x sets of points (both of which have had the ugly Peco mechanisms cleaned out and new sleepers soldered in), a diamond, track to the future turntable, and the catch point behind the diamond (also tidied up); and setup the wiring and DCC Concepts Cobalt Digital IP motors driving them.
Middle of the day:
End of the day:
The tracks either side of the baseboard join in the middle are soldered to stainless steel screw heads at the correct height, which holds height and position perfectly. No close-up pictures there yet - I'll need to do some camouflage to make them look a little less obvious.
The points / catch point either side of the diamond are controlled via the same DCC address as a pair, and drive the diamond's frogs' polarity. All working a treat, very happy.
Underneath, Cobalt Digital IPs in place and working beautifully:
