The work on my fold up N scale layout is progressing at a pace best described as "glacial" but I am ready to try my hand at the turnout control panel. It will control 5 Kato #6 remote turnouts, all within 3 feet of one another, powered by a separate 12 volt DC power supply (track power will be DCC via Digitrax Zephyr).
My problem is that, although I can visualize the way a single DPDT momentary switch is wired, after looking a couple of videos, the idea of wiring 5, and how to run the wire and how to avoid having a rat's nest of tangled wiring, is giving me heartburn.
Are there any videos that explain how to wire such a multiple turnout panel (I've looked, so far no luck) or are there articles anyone can recommend? I have visions of clouds of smoke rising above my layout the first time I hit one of the toggle switches, just nothing working.
Thanks
