Control Panel Progress

The control panel for Hannerton New Street has now been drilled out and almost all of the switches and indicators have been added (3 more switches left to fit). This means that (externally) the panel looks pretty much finished.


The reality of the situation is somewhat different with a multitude of connections needing to be made inside the box!

I've started work by making up the the diode matrices that will control the points. The plan is to wire up the control panel at work in numerous lunch breaks and wire up the layout at home completely independently. Then I'll take the control panel home and see just how many mistakes I've made!!!!

For information there are:
  • 7 toggle switches
  • 18 push buttons
  • 84 LEDs

I may be some time.....
