Model Railway Update 12 - installing points and point motors

In this video we show you how we installed most of the points, point motors and associated electrics on the main circuits of our model railway layout.
For this video we took the baseboard top off so we could flip it over and install the motors easily underneath, but for some of the other points this wasn't possible. Much crawling around underneath the boards was required.
We also show you our switch panel and associated wiring and take a sneak peak at a motorised signal, which will feature in a later video.
This completes the track work for the two main circuits, but we still have the goods yard and factory siding to lay, so come back soon to see how we are getting on with that.
The video ends with a running session over the newly installed pointwork.

Yet another brilliant video. You guys must be proud of how well things are going. Simon is learning some great life skills. Growing fast specially his hair.... lol. It's good to see that you have done motorised points and signals thats always a great feature on a Model Railway. I am looking forward to some scenic's, ballasting and grass. Not the finished product but a base for the next scene. Glad to hear the weather is still good enough to get out and see the real thing. 😇

Thanks for watching! Yes we're really enjoying the progress with the layout and very excited to get onto some scenic work soon. Simon says; "even the Terrier doesn't stall on the crossover."

@@SimonsTrainAdventures Yes I think I saw that one running. Good Work.

Nice one Simon There is always something new to learn when it comes to model railways, especially with installing point motors. Maybe that could be something I can do if I make an improved model railway too. How are things getting on? Any recent sightings of steam train excursions or other interesting rail movements? I can't wait to see them. I also like the part when the signal changed, it reminds me of when I went to a now defunct miniature railway not far from my home. Whilst on the miniature train, it stopped at a signal, the driver pulled the lever and the signal dropped showing the line was clear so the train could proceed without incident. Even in model form, they still require the same amount of engineering required from a real railway. Keep your steam up Simon, your model railway is looking splendid. take care Kevig

Thanks Kevig. Some of the point motors were tricky, especially the 3-way point, which will feature in our next video. We saw a couple of steam trains last week (Royal Scot and a Black 5) and Simon has been editing the video today, so we hope to have that out later this week. Also lots of interesting diesel movements for our next Diesel Report video. The miniature railway sounds like fun!

You're welcome, I'm currently writing a book about that miniature railway, it may be tricky but it's a work in progress. These new video are very exciting. Keep it up.
