Stay Tuned

Well now you've raised my curiosity!!

Jim, that looks like the work of Jim?

Nice. 

I like the flow of green lights to show which switches are thrown to know the movement of trains across the switches.

Looks like the lights on the left tell if a track is occupied?

Is this for above or under-table storage?

Jim

Brian, you are correct.  That is the work of Jim Williams.  He is a very talented and gifted electrician and craftsman.  

When it comes to trains he "knows his stuff".  TMCC, DCS, LEGACY, bring it on and he will resolve the issues and get it ALL running.

More about him later as well.

Jim Williams is a gifted electrician. His work is unmistakably excellent. I am proud to have his work on our layout as well.

Jim, you nailed it.  The green LED's will assist the operator in determining traffic flow based on switch allignment.  GREEN indicates the turnout is aligned for normal (usually straight) and a RED LED will indicate a diverged setting.

The YELLOW LED's on each yard let light up if the track is POWERED, weather occupied of vacant.  Power is controlled by the staggerd toggle switches along the left side of the panel.

The panel is mounted above grade.  If you look closley on theft you can see tracks.

I don't know how I missed this topic, but I'm glad that I found it.  I love Jim's control panels, but I'm obviously a little biased.  I can't wait to see it installed and in operation.

I can't wait to get Jim working on my panels! BTW, When is the next open house in Griffith?

- RICH

This weekend.  Saturday & Sunday 10:00 - 5:00.  

I will be there about 1:00 Saturday afternoon.  I think Art will be bringing his posse down earlier.

Sunday I will be there from 10:00 - 5:00.

Art,

On Saturday I asked Jim about the "Chugman".  I figured it out before he finished the story.

Makes sense to me. 

Howard, any chance you can make it down to Griffith this weekend?
