Although I am a WR/LMR 1960s modeller at home. I am also involved with an American outline club layout.

 

[RonnieS]

There will be 4 control panels. I have built 3 so far. 2 on the left side and 1 on the right

This is the Left hand side "Signal box diagram"
Over on the Left Hand Side are Control panel 1 and 2. 1 switches the points via stud contact and isolates roads 1-7.
2 switches between DCC and DC. the colours on the diagram relate to switched sections. For DC control is hand held Modelex controllers. For DCC Z21

And this is the right

As you can see from the above plans. Trains can be run as either 2 trains (on inner and outer ovals)
or 1 train on a figure of 8. The switching is controlled by a single slip on a lift bridge on the entrance to the layouts home.
This is an early shot when we were still tracklaying.

Team leader, Clive, has painted the lift bridge

Round the corner on the loco depot..........slow progress but progress never the less.
