Very cool display!! Cant wait to see it in operation!

The 3M has an upwards arrow...which means the yellow ball is justified! :crazy:

That is a wonderful layout. Looking at that well done display and those cool signals represented makes me realize why we enjoy this hobby.

Looking good! :good:

I'll back up what Feltman said...you're never done. :crazy: Now that I've reached the limit of what the EF-20 can do, I'm giving in and looking for a TacomaJoe special, hopefully something with a bit of flexibility as I'd like to add another approach to make a 3-way intersection. And only two weeks ago, I said I was happy with the display and wouldn't change a thing...so there's that. :roll:

Update!

Image

Hung the Alusig and mounted the Econo Ped properly.

Image

Just used some hose clamps and tightened them down with a drill, far simpler than I expected it to be. It also finished very well, the ped sig is very sturdy.

Another bump, another update, wiring done!

I guess I was inspired by the M-131's wiring setup, I wanted something somewhat modular so I could add and remove signals without interrupting other signals and without having to trace the wires all the way back to the controller. This took a few days to wire, a ton of crimping and measuring, and a can of bug spray, but this is it. As it stands, the sequence needs some tweaking, and a few odds and ends are in the mail, so no video yet. It's the same sequence as the Bedroom Intersection video, anyway.
