Switching Layout 14x48 Project - Track and Turnout Control

I have given up on using servos for turnout control after four fail attempts at building the electronics, so I have gone back to a tried and true solution for me. SPDT Slide switches, I have used these before with good success.

First I cut some re-enforcement pads for the slide switches and start creating pockets for pads and clearance holes for wires.

 

I use a 0.025" music wire and 0.0325" brass tubing for linkage to turnouts. I just make a small channel for the tubing to fit in.

I am also gluing down track and turnouts, adding frog power wire as I go too.
