A return to the lower deck - Part 2
Continuing work on this part of the project over the May Day weekend.
2 servos now installed in the shed area (merg servo vertical mounts) and programmed. Eventually I will programme them to run off one switch as they are a crossover but still testing them out and need to add the polarity wiring so keeping them separate.
I think I need a ground signal here prior to the catchpoint (on the shed side) ( Also a signal with a shunt signal on the other side facing toward the shed. I need to read up on how these signals would have been placed as ideally I want them installed before ballasting.
I took up the central crossover as it wasn't level. This point motor needs replacing with a dingo servo mount
Recent visit to Thornbury Show where I purchased 3x left hand SLE 92s points (Code 100). Interestingly these days the manufacturer puts in a option for livefrog so instead of cutting rails all I had to do was snip a couple of wires out from the underside. Many years ago I had all sorts of problems with shorts on DCC using insulfrog and discovered that modifying electrofrog points to Brian Lamberts 'livefrog' was a good solution.
Started install of goods loop crossover, 1 point is in and the other needs a bit more cutting of rail for it to sit neatly.
Lots of SG90 servos needed now
At least 3 Dingo servo mounts and for the rest Merg will do.
Probably need another electronic module at this end to operate signals.
Still quite a bit of mess from the old track layout to cover up again with scenery.
Point rodding also to do, having seen that on exhibition layouts I think it should be installed. But light ballast might be needed in the cess areas first.
So essentially I will have up / down main line. Branch Single line and then sidings on both front and rear of layout.
