New signal gantry, with lights!

After another successful work and running session, we now have lights in the gantry. This follows from the earlier installation of the gantry.

First task was to route fibre optic cable down from the signal masts to underneath the layout.

The cable then needed to be routed to the correct light source on the logic board.

Flip everything right-side up again and perform a successful test run. Two green tracks (one main, one siding), one red main track, and one amber for the work track.

If you look carefully, you can see the clear fibre optic cables running through the gantry. One green dwarf lamp is also visible in the distance.

Please drop by the Club on a run night to learn more about fibre optics and track signalling.
