Point Control
|
|
|
Power supply and control units within the garage |
Junction box with outgoing power |
|
|
|
Conduit from garage to railway |
Junction box with connections to points |
|
The point control to the "shed" area is slightly different. It was considered that any manoeuvring in that area would mean you would be closes by, so I decided to run 18 VDC to an IP66 control box, fitted with DPDT Centre off none latching switches to power the point motors. The unit has bee tested and works, however permanent installation will wait until I have constructed a building (Kippo Signal Box) to protect the junction box. |
