Block Control Panel

 Started building one of two of my control panels. This one controls the blocks in Otterville and Simcoe. The rotary switches, one for each block, select what throttle powers each block. Each town on my layout has four blocks. The mainline coming into town, each of the two passing sidings and the mainline leaving town. Industry sidings are wired to whatever track they are connected to. I will post a picture of the completed wiring.



There will also be throttle plug ins, on or near the control panel. Looking at the above picture you can see that the top half controls Otterville and the bottom half controls Simcoe. The panel front is white masonite and black marker.
