Firstly the mill board module is now complete bar a couple of servo motors that I've put in a safe place and cannot find..... But good enough for testing.

The control panel is also done. This mounts to the front of the fiddle yard and at the moment looks a bit bare. I'm planning to replace the toggle switches with a proper lever frame at some point but to get the layout running for now I'm just using the switches.

There's plenty of space inside for the locking frame. From left to right There's x2 8 channel input modules in here. (Why 9 levers why?). Home made 12v-5v DC/DC convertor and the lenz express net module.
For the DCC curious I use lenz command equipment and architecture but roco multimaus handsets which are compatible and they share the same cons protocol.
Next steps are to build some interconnecting harnesses and the slowly power up the 3 modules.... And that's before I connect them to the track
