Kensington Hill Control Panel rewire

This week I was able to spend two evenings rewiring the control panel for Kensington Hill based on my recent findings and decisions. I removed the SPDT switches and associated LEDs that were going to control the signals and lights as these functions are now going to be controlled in other ways. I also removed the original resistors that I had soldered to the remaining LEDs that are indicating the direction of the turnouts. These were replaced with 300 ohm versions as the originals were too high and not letting the LEDs light. On Saturday I reinstalled the control panel onto the layout and connected up three of the five turnout feedback microswitches to the control panel. I was hoping to get to the other two microswitches on Sunday but ran out of time due to other family commitments. Maybe sometime this week. I am also hoping to glue up one of the Eckon two aspect signals I have to provide me with an idea of how these will be placed on the Kensington Hill side of the layout.

Unfortunately I wasn't able to get to the Toowoomba Show this year due to the family commitments I had on Sunday. Hopefully I will hear more about the Show at the Club's monthly meeting this Saturday.
