Another control panel...............
I needed a .....
...... control panel to control the turnouts (1-6) and the crossing in the area outlined by the dotted red line above.
I use 04
02 pre-wired LED's (cheap per LED) for the indicator lights. They are placed just into the holes in the 3D print and glued with CA. I usually let it sit overnight at this stage.
Two of the toggle switches above throw two turnouts at the same time and control the route LEDs also. You throw the toggle and the route LEDs will light up and push the button switch and the turnouts throw.
A number of resistors were needed for all the additional LEDs that would be activated when you throw a switch. The answer was a long solder pad (easy to make in a few minutes) and 1206 3K resistors that were soldered on with the $65 hot air solder station.
.
Above two red LEDs are lit showing which route the crossing polarity is set for. Since none of the turnouts are set to use it the toggle switch should be set to the center 'off' position and no lights would be lit.
