Wow - that's a lot of skills involved in all that! Excellent results - and well explained. I'd like to have seen a bit more on how you did the wiring and connectors. Great stuff though.
Absolutely fantastic. The best, neatest and most professional mimic panel I've ever seen, truly a thing of beauty. I've never seen a printed circuit board used in a control panel for a model railway before, but the neatness, along with the D sockets and plugs take your work to the next level. I also admired your use of eyelets and cable ties to keep the wiring neat and tidy below the basboard. Outstanding quality of work. Do you produce these panels commercially?
Wow 👌 Amazing knowledge and skills, way beyond my abilities! When I look at my mimic panel currently under construction it looks like a snakes nest. The fiddle yard one looks amazing. I'm presuming the Peco accessory switches provide the feedback to the mimic panel as you are using DCC and insulfrog points? Subscribed 👍
The scenic area point motors are cobalt omegas and have in built switches, all other point motors are peco with accessory switches. Not as good but they do the job
That is some impressive do-it-all-yourself. Thanks for sharing!

Top notch mimic, reminds me of when I used to design them for industry!
thanks, it took some planning but the next ones were / will be easier now I've got the basic outline sorted.
Fantastic attention to detail!
Very nice, well above hobby level
Wonderful work!
thanks, i've made improvements on the next one.

Glad you liked it! it took a fair bit of drawing and planning
brilliant work :)
What sort of power are you using on the laser cutter to burn of the paint
It's a raster engraving, about 40% power of our 100 watt laser but speed is high at approx. 400mm per second. hope that helps
@@andy_croft Thanks

Thanks for your kind comments. If you watch the peco point motor base video you can see 1 of the storage yard boards nearly finished.
