Electrical Work - My Controller
For this layout, I needed independent control of 3 separate blocks—The 2 mainlines, and the yard. I couldn’t find any commercially available 3-way controllers on the market, so I decided to build one, as opposed to buying3 different controllers, which would ultimately have cost more (although make no mistake: This was not rock-bottom cheap).…
