I’ve always wondered why modelers don’t use more Rc stuff. I’ve made all my G scale battery operated RC. My main hobby is rc planes but I can’t help but use those modeling skills for my trains as well.

Yes it’s definitely worth looking into other hobbies for ideas. You don’t only need to stick to stuff from the model railroad manufacturers. Thanks for the comment.

ooh, the route indicator shows the _commanded_ position, not the _detected_ position? that's the primary cause of the Three Mile Island incident ;) Great video! I've just superglued servos directly to the underside of the baseboard up to now. A bracket would be better…

Haha, good point. Yes, not ideal - showing the actual position of the servos would be better but it involves using limit switches on each servo. For now I’m trusting the servos will throw as commanded. After all my trains are not handling nuclear waste. 😆 Thanks for watching and commenting.

@@pacificcoastminiatures I've seen servo-holders which have mountings for microswitches to set the frog polarity which might also provide feedback for panels/a route controller… not sure you'd really want to load much of the complexity of a real signalling interlocking into a Nano or a bunch of Nanos though!

@RoamingAdhocrat yes I’d like to eventually add signalling with block detection but that I know will require a better microcontroller. Future project. 😊
