I did my first test of the new yard, testing frog polarity and functioning of the turnouts.
Only two frogs needed the polarity changing, and all the turnouts threw perfectly! I have now installed & tested all the point motors, including one Cobalt motor where there was no space for a SEEP. I also test-fitted the yard in its final location, and all looking good.
I’ve finally got round to starting the point motor installation on the new yard board. I’ve wired up 10 Seep PM-1 point motors – for the first time I have seen sense and have done all the wiring on the workbench! Much simpler and fewer solder burns!
The other 8 point motors will be attached to a CML DAC20 point decoder. I’ll be setting up routes using these two decoders to make it easy to set points into and out of the yard, and these will all be controlled via a local control panel run by a CML DTM30 Towermaster Controller.
