Thanks for the update James. Would have liked underboard switch machines here in my Rockford rebuild . Cross beams and rails in the road so I went with Peco stde mounts . Do the job though . Cheers Les

[@delphjunction1168]

Hello James. Hope the weather's not to cold in Canada yet. Great system for the points, nice and smooth. Switches look a brilliant idea. I have surface mounted point motors and they are noticeable on my vlogs. Still want to see your colourful CN tankers, they are great. Thanks for sharing it with us buddy. You stay safe.

[@seanspennywisemiserrr]

Great update, James. How does the price of the walthers switch machine compare to others?

[@dundasjunctionmodelr.r-jam8267]

Sean , I have never checked , like the plug and play system, had lots from old layout, purchased a bunch from Marketplace, $27.99 new , thanks for watching

[@MMRails]

James, I might have missed it, but why do you have so many wires attached to the switch machines?? Are you powering the frogs via the switch motors? One day they’ll be wireless. One day.

[@dundasjunctionmodelr.r-jam8267]

Mark yes I am powering the frogs via the switch machines, I hooked up wires to both micro switches because of access, was not sure which switch I needed , little trial and error extra wires allowed me to troubleshoot, thanks for watching

[@derekalexander4030]

Hey James, that was a great tutorial on the Walthers crossovers and how they function. Does the one switch control both sides of the crossover?

[@dundasjunctionmodelr.r-jam8267]

Derek there are two switches per crossover, one push button controls both thanks for watching

[@HumancityJunction]

Nice, you havr trains running!! So you are done with the layout now?

[@dundasjunctionmodelr.r-jam8267]

I wish Heath, had issues with track, Peco and Walthers don’t work together, new track on order , progress I think , thanks for watching
