This section is for
the project as a whole, it’s status and updates.
5/19/20, Block control testing with Circuitron components made a large milestone as Stephen successfully tested the concept.
View 1 of some of the wiring done for the testing of 3 blocks in a loop.

The clothes pins are holding the wire onto the circuitron components, makes for an easy way to test wiring and not making any soldering or permanent joining.
There are 3 ER-1 External Relays, and 3 BD-2 detection units(the detection units that detect drop in power in a section, not the optical sensor kind).
The track actually has 9 different sections. Each block has 2 detection areas and 1 kill zone area.
Stephen working late until 3am on the test wiring. Doesn’t he look like a mess, just like the wiring.
Seriously, it was a successful test because of the commitment Stephen Makes to getting the job done right.
