Over the past couple of weeks I've been redesigning the Loch Down Railway by replacing the single point on each side with two single points. This makes the two sidings slightly longer and more usable.
In addition, the points are being electrified to make operations easier, especially at the long wall side. Three of the points have been done so far and the wiring is in for the fourth. They are controlled by a 51750 LGB control box fed off the Playmobil controller.
The first photo shows the new layout of the sidings.
The second photo is an overall view of the wiring for the points and the third shows the connections between the point motor and the power feed from the LGB control box. The choc blocks are plug and socket types so that they are easily disconnected when the layout is taken up without having to disturb the final connections to the point motors.
The last photo shows the Playmobil controller and the LGB control box for the points. At some point I will mount these side by side on a small board, together with a second control box for the signals and, possibly an electric uncoupler.
