In my analogue system the control panel uses exclusively 5v and 0.5A, I use 5v relays which then close the circuit and activate the railway switches. In this way, in addition to using smaller sections of wire, I can apply microcontrollers such as Arduino to control the relays, making everything automatable!

Thanks for another shout out Jason. Switch panel looks really good and I'm pleased I was able to assist with your track plan. Fingers crossed my station switch panel will be fully functional by the end of March. Cheers, Jamie

Pennyhill Junction - hello, what software did you use for the track plan. In the process of doing mine and absolutely hate my design so far haha 😂

Hi James, Mine was custom made in Excel. If you want me to email you mine, drop me a message on my KZbin channel. At least you can have a play around with the formatting to fit your design. Cheers, Jamie

Looks great, the edging really helps to set it off. It makes such a difference when all the points can be centrally controlled. Really neat and tidy wiring, too. I remember how long it took me to build my panel and having to solder all those wires! The LEDs were what really drove me crazy :) Looking forward to how the rest of this develops. Iain

Newcastle Central (OO Gauge) I enjoyed building the panel, I am hoping the wiring will remain neat. Adding LED's is a little beyond my technical wizardry but maybe one day 🤔

Hey Barnabas. Awesome job on the control panel. Your keeping everything nice a neat. A solution for replacing the shrink tube idea is using liquid electrical tape.

great video. very well explained. very tidy wiring. what about LEDS to show direction of traffic? I was looking tips as how to include them to the panel. can't find any videos that show how incorporate LEDS. Cheers, Oliver.

Hi, I’ve now watched part 1 and 2. Great video. I have a basic question about your common return or negative. Where does it pickup the power source. I’m assuming your have a 12v power supply requiring both a positive and negative output to your control panel.

Hi Richard, Thank you for watching. I am pleased you enjoyed them. The control panel is connected to a DCC Concepts CDU+2 which supplies it with plentyful required power. They retail approx £30 and are well worth it.

Nice video Jason I would love to convert my layout to motors l love the idea of having a track diagram it looks amazing you have done a good job. As you saw I have tried my best to promote MRYCG and I did have a few people recognise it and ask about it and if I knew you and all the others to which I said I have talked to him briefly on a livestream it not in person. I have a video from the event of you want to have a look at it. I think that your layout is great I am surprised you haven’t used point motors in the first place! I like that your layout is modern image and you can basically run what you like. 👍😀 keep up the good work Jason. Ned

Very Nicely done, plenty of ideas for when I build my control panel, Im using Seep PM-1 motors on mine, just a quick question, the majority of my points are insulfrog, could I still use the switching on the seep pm-1 for polarity? Im hoping to improve the reliability on the insulfrogs instead of relying on just the blades for polarity :)

@@BarnabasJunction Many thanks. Just watched your video where you wired up your switches and point motors. Lovely video to watch. Very easy to understand. My switches are slightly different as I’ll be using an 8 way switch module, but wiring is the same though. My supply of wire was a little too thin for the ferrule connectors I’ll be using.

Very nice piece of work. Cant wait for part 2! Sorry for my ignorance but CDU? Do you mean a power supply unit? I take it that the points are not being DCC operated if you are using the switches? Are the switches sprung to return to centre or stay where you push them? Are your points electrofrog & if so have you fitted polarity switchers to them? Sorry for all the questions!
@BarnabasJunction
@BarnabasJunction 6 жыл бұрын
Hello :) Part 2 is in progress and should be uploaded in a few days hopefully. CDU means Capacitor Discharge Unit and is mains powered. It is a DC Concepts CDU+2. Yes all points will be operated by the control panel and not a DCC controller. The switches are On-Off-On Momentary switches which return to centre once pressed. All my points are insulfrog so no requirement for polarity switches. The points motors used are Gaugemaster PM-2. Always happy to answer questions, thanks for viewing.

Hi mate - how do you power the black wire ? The common return ? I get how to sort the other two, but the only power units I can find need two wires into them, not one… I know am being dumb but I just can’t understand it
@BarnabasJunction
@BarnabasJunction Жыл бұрын
The DCC Concepts CDU +2 that I use has 3 connections (+)(-)(+) each + (Red) is 1 CDU either side that can handle approx 16 point motors (according to DCC Concepts) the - (Black) is the common return for both.

You could maybe use a product called Plasti-Dip and cover the bare terminals/wires with it. Hope this helps. Randall

When you say 'common return' do you not mean 'common supply' to the switches from the psu/CDU?
