With the panel all finished, it has now been permanently mounted to the layout. In this shot you have the interchange switch on the left,, up for the cab in Bath to have control and down the cab in Easton. The red indicator means that this panel has been cut out and the Easton cab has control. With the green led lit, the Bath local cab has the train.
The panel in Easton operates the same way.. It shows that the Easton cab has control. The switch in the middle selects the local or main throttles, the one on the left selects either the A or B main cab.
Just past the tunnel on the Bath side I have cut two gaps in the rails. This will allow the two local cabs (Easton and Bath) to be used at the same time by two different operators without the fear of causing a short.
