Chris and Bob continued work at Picard Junction and along the Bottom Level on the Western Wall. We had to "pull the plug" Monday night when we found that there was a missing link in the understanding of implementing the point wiring strategy at Picard Junction. Wire 1 goes to point 5, wire 2 to point 6, wire three to point 7, and so on for wires 1 to 12 NOT wire 5 to point 5, wire 8 to point 8!!!!!
Chris and I labeled all the wires next morning to stop and further confusion - I was all because points 1 - 4 are fed by going around the room the other way as it's a few metres shorter.
Power District Works
Power Booster 1 - Power District B
Bottom half revamped to include the additional block watchers for the hidden staging.
Power Booster 2 - Power District C
The pre-wired panel has been mounted inside the helix ready for the block section wires to be terminated in the terminal blocks.
I was pleased when I activated Power Booster 2 for the first time and the test loco crossed the Power District flawlessly.
Power Booster 3 - Power District D
Additional Block Watchers arrive
Control Panels
Bill spent Monday night terminating the wires from Picard Junction at the bottom level control panel terminal strips - Until I "Pulled the plug"!
Note the last photo taken Tuesday after all cables labeled!
