Well things are on a ham sandwich (or roll if you prefer)!

I had managed to get six out of the ten point motors right on the first go, so this afternoon I spent some time to get the last four in place.

In most cases all that was needed was to drill out the hole (carefully!) from underneath, one motor with slightly bent pin needed to be put in place in reverse to my usual convention and on a different point than where it was previously.

As I went along I tested each point motor first by hand, then with one screw in place and using the power supply, then with both of them and so on....

So at intermediate stage three, this what the layout looks like from below and this time I used a proper solid chair without wheels or swivel function:

Please ignore the white wires, they are for the future.. Each red and black wire you can see is wired to two pieces of stripboard in the middle, red is outer rail, black is inner.... No wires going back to a control panel, no hassle.... I have deliberately channeled the wires to leave space for point decoders. I'm in the middle of selecting some decoders now and hope to wire them up in the next few weeks (after they've been purchased and delivered).

Meanwhile, my second 2095 class loco has come back from being 'borged' and is running better than ever... It now runs better than it ever did as an analogue loco...

Good night!
