Very cool. I like using those plugs too.

Winter work continues on my signaling. Here’s the evolution of a mounting bracket to put the remote signaling nodes into the equipment sheds (which are made out of vinyl post and caps)
Left to right is this is the right size followed by use less filament and then the final allow the bracket to be used as a wire chase
Here’s how the board fits into the equipment box.
And then its pushed up snugly to the top.
Next in CAD right now is the base.

I’ve done a complete revamp of the node boards. Instead of having a central master node and a bunch of remote nodes (looking like CMRI hardware to JMRI) I have instead change to have each remote node be its own OpenLCB/LCC node, using the (now somewhat mature) LCC wifi library.
The initial code works like it should, but the hardware on the nodes changed somewhat, so I redesigned the board. Still controls four three-light signal heads, plus has two auxiliary outputs. Four block inputs plus two auxiliary inputs as well. And I added output buffers to increase current sinking capability.

So what !
All that work and certain guests are gonna freaking ignore and blow the signal anyway! While your at it you should also remove the bricks for bumpers on the sidings and use cinder blocks instead.
