Quick update on small progress.
Today I installed the turnout indicators on the facia.
I drew these in Illustrator and had them laser cut in acrylic.
The red targets indicate a switch on the main and the yellow targets indicate a switch on a secondary line.
The numbers are SPINS (Southern Pacific Industrial Numbering System) and indicate the siding number. numbers are as close as possible for the real branch industries.
LEDs indicate switch position: Green for main line, Red for siding
The activation slide switches are located under the layout below the switch stands.
