I pulled several hundred feet of wiring out of the layout over the past few months. The layout was having issues of signal control and intermittent false block occupancy issues as well. I've been doing patch work on the issues over the years and obviously, I've prolly got mixed up on the right wire to the right tracks.
I removed all the control boards from the panel section and started with tracing each and every wire and making new connections to the control boards. I've uncovered several mistakes that seem to have been the cause of the problems I was seeing.
I didn't want to go that far but it seemed like the most logical thing to do as I kept finding the wiring issue.
Getting things back together now and reprogramming the signal system as I got along. I'm quite happy with how the signals are working now.
Crawling under the benchwork to trace wires is getting difficult with my bad knees.
