Some electronics

Made the microswitch in the middle pier today. It stops the bridge in its opened position.

The parts:

The assembly:

Mounted:

And wired:

Works like a charm!

More module work

The middle modulestill needed some work. The front valance had to be made, I cut it out of some rest material:

Spiked and glued to the module:

Fitting the width of 2 LED strips:

Cut out pieces which will carry these LED strips:

The result. This way the module takes 3 wood strips of 3 centimeters wide which each can hold up to 2 LED strips:

Later more!

I started with building the drawbridge, photos will follow. The drive for the bridge arrived last weekend:

Walthers packed it very tight in the box:

Together with the baseplate:

Parts of the bridgekit for securing the motor:

 Mounted on the baseplate:

More to come!

Extended lenz set

I extended my existing Lenz case this week. What I had:

Left the existing case with LZ100 central, LV101 booster and LI100 interface. That one will be replaced.

Here a test of the new case:

From the old one I removed the interface and some other stuff, and connected the central and booster in a better way than before:

Here the new situation. Now in the new case I have 2 extra LV101 boosters and there power supplies. Further a LA152 adapter which connects the new LI-USB interface to the system through XPressNet. The whole is connected with a special connecting cabel that uses 15 pin Sub-D connectors.

I also have a programming central in the second case. It can be used as-is without interupting the operating central:

Enough to power a bigger layout that the ones I currently own.

Later more!
