Hi,
I'm getting ready to begin laying track and installing the turnouts in my main railyard. All of the turnouts will all be controlled by Tortoises and/or Smails. I'm using an NCE DCC system. I'm looking for some advice. I don't want the operator to have to go through switching a series of toggle switches to align all of the turnouts. Instead, I'd like the yard ladder to be controlled by either push buttons or a dial type of system that will align all the turnouts at once when the operator selects the track that they want to use in the yard. What is a good hardware setup to allow for this easier operation? I know there were some recent videos on how the MR staff accomplished this in the MR&T staging yard, but wanted to see if people had other recommendations that they are happy with.
Thanks in advance!
Mark
I have the NCE 5 amp wireless PH-Pro system. I have used an NCE Mini Panel and Switch-8 to automate routes into and out of my downtown passenger station. A series of pushbuttons and LEDs on a control panel control the routing.
