I will be sharing your PCB concept for sure and it may even get some traction. To that end I have laid out my own PCB with the basic concepts you have shown and once it arrives along with the rest of the bits and bobs I will be showing it to MERG as a proposed offering (or something to turn into one)..

    Excellent wiring! Fellow MERG member accross the pond in Texas building 00. Yeah, I'm a glutton for punishment.... I Like your point motor mounts. Did you 3d print your mounts? Any chance of sharing the stl file or link?

    A lot of interesting elements there David. I'm about to start helping my Dad with his new layout. I'm also a bit of an electronics nerd and will be doing a similar thing, although I'm going custom ESP microprocessors on custom boards with a simple CanBus loop. For power I'm going 24v AC over all tracks; engines/loco's will also have ESP32's onboard with brushless motors and ESC's; they will also have small LiPo cells that charge from the 24v AC rails; this means I don't have to run power through points etc, so will make life easier. I like the block section detection method using CT clamps and sensitive ADC's, although not sure how that will maintain detection for rolling stock that does not pull any current...? the plan is to automate the entire layout using NodeRed to under pin the logic and sequencing whilst giving Dad some manu controls and one button routines where sensible. Well done on the wiring, and having seen yours, I'm probably going to go with a mini-module at each location that needs something; it'll be a lot of ESP chips but they are very cheap and boards from PCB Way are also very cheap. This way I'm only running four wires around the layout; CanH CanL and the 24v AC two wires.

      Dad's working in 'O' gauge so more room inside locos/engines for more electronics; We'll have wheel slip detection interacting with the ESC, many many lights 🤣 and as I'm using the ESP32's sound driven centrally is also on the cards... lol

      @@dougle03 holy s**t this sounds amazing! If only I had the time and money to pull that all off. You had me confused with how you were going to fit an ESP32 let alone an Esc and lipo all In a model but in O gauge that sounds very doable. In fairness other than the cost of o gauge itself I think with esp32s's bought in bulk this may well work out cheaper than dcc and Canbus! At the moment I'm considering a few arduino and raspberry pi integrations with my bus but hadn't thought of using ESPs. I'm sure I've got a couple ESPs in a box somewhere that I'll have a play with next time I go and visit my parents loft.

      @@HorsehayRailwayModeller Resistors would work to draw current for detection, albeit a little inefficient on power. I'm mulling over using hall effect sensors (Since we'll have more than enough ADC's in the ESP32's under each board) for static detection, but that would still require stateful logic to retain occupation history; so lots to think about.

      @@HorsehayRailwayModeller To be fair, the costs will be lower than DCC ect, as I'm sure you've discovered, DCC and related 'modeling' electronics can mount up. The Loco's/engines will be 2.4ghz wifi control, whilst anything fixed will be wired (Just as it should be) lol I can get ESP's for pennies and hall sensors are currently 10 for 62p lol - Bringing it all together will be the challenge, but I really wanted to move away from the problems of dirty track where the rails are the control method. I could go entirely wireless meaning the only under board wiring is only the 24vac, but I'll stick to the respected standard of: if it moves=wireless, if it's static=wired...
