Is very weird.

I’ve amended it to the safer of the two available settings - you get a choice between ‘safe’ and ‘moderate’, with the latter being the Flickr default setting.

No good here Steve either.

Hope it wasn’t too racey for you Brian.

Still trying to catch my breath Steve.

I’ve only gone and done it.
Well, on this side of the layout anyway. Fitted and connected the four servos to the double bracket.
All the signals on this side, apart from a couple of fixed distant, all work albeit there is some adjustment and fettling to do until I’m completely satisfied.

And a somewhat disappointing video that does not reflect the work so far.

Video worked first time for me - nice clear picture - very impressive. The signals also look very good - you put a lot of work, and fiddly work at that - you must have the patience of a saint.

Not so sure about patience, enough OCD to attract the attention of the authorities though.
Yes Barry, very fiddly although by working on these as a batch, you quickly learn what works and what doesn’t. The biggest challenge comes from the signals towards the rear of the layout - the servos face the wrong way so you are working by feel and there’s no space to get your fingers in.

I’m now thinking about the signals on the other side of the layout where the branch and mainlines pass the MPD. It looks as though there will be four brackets and they are all along the back of the board!
To get access I will need to move two long shelves under the board and relocate the sliding workbench - I picked a good warm weekend for woodwork.

At least I have finished this version of the control panel.
