Started building the switch panel for the yard on my layout.
- DPDT switches for the tortoises - Twin Bi-color (Red/Green) 3mm LEDs wired in-line with tortoise motor feeds for each turnout (when one is green, the other is red) - Power will be fed from a distribution block - All tortoise feeds to be connected via terminal blocks Next steps: - Build & mount the enclosure - Clean up and connect all wiring - Celebrate completion of the panel with a nice glass of 18yr old Glenmorangie

Looks functional and compact, the presentation side is clean. Good job, now let's see it lit up )
Electric side is my favorite type of work, i love watching glowing Leds. building the enclosure was something i was not really thrilled about.

I like it! It's really nicely wired and the panel looks neat and clean. I used toggles for my old panel, and I really like the idea that the direction of the toggle also indicates the direction of switch.
