Tortoise Motor Control Circuits

Work is in progress to make up the diode matix and point motor control boards for Heyside's storage sidings. Basically it's just a single push button to set the storage road required. I'm indebted to John Bailey for Vero board design and component choice for this project. Further information can be found at http://home.cogeco.ca/~rpaisley4/CircuitIndex.html

 

Here is the first control board, with the breaks being cut in the second.

I'm curious to see how this develops - how many points are you controlling and how many roads are you setting? Will all the points fire at once or will there be some stagger to minimise the load?

 

The main reason for asking is I'm currently looking at doing some thing similar on a layout and I've been looking at the MERG CBUS system. I'm just weighing up the merits of the two different approaches.
