It has been a while since i have posted but I have been busy with many celebrations including our 50th anniversary so I have been distracted.
Work has continued however. So we have six tracks in the diesel storage area and will eventually have a diesel house. I built the housing out of some furniture grade plywood and will cover the front with plexiglas. Here I have added the terminal strips for the various connections. I use 8 position blocks.
Ground wire for the power has been added.
My usual array of tools neatly laid out
My work area under the layout. The terminal strip in the upper left is for a Tortoise machine
I have to connect here to the main power supply
So I use the red suitcase connectors for that. Makes it quick and easy.
Power supplies now coming in
The overall work area reflects that I had to pull everything out from under the payout to do the work. What a pain.
More wiring progress. All blocks and turnouts now connected to the back of the panel.
Wiring plan and meters in the general area to access.
Panel installed. I wired the back of the panel at a bench and only had to connect it to the terminal blocks.
We have now 21 storage positions, varying in size from short spots for road switchers to longer spots for passenger diesels. Now back to scenery.
