At this point I am waiting for PSXX-AC circuit breakers from DCC industries. Seems they have a new version, which hopefully will be available by Dec. 2022. So I went on to putting together my block detection modules. They simply monitor outside rail to be connected to the opposite outside rail by train wheels. I do have opto isolators and spike suppression for this circuit. Once the block is occupied, this board will transmit that info wirelessly to home base which I am planning on using to control signals and such. Lots of blocks, so I hope I can keep track of which boards are monitoring which blocks. lol For signals the number of blocks drops from 35 to 10 for the mainline and then spurs, whisker tracks and yard take up the remaining blocks. Also am working on the plywood base over the L-girders. I have been reluctant to do more wood working as it will force me to work under the table for the remaining wiring. I'll leave then removable until I have to secure them and firgure out do I cover all plywood with homosote or just homosote under the tracks??? I am sure fall yard work will take priority, however after that it should be clearer sailing.
