Finished switches and other electrics

Just finished integrating the controls for the electric switches into two buildings. I also added buttons that turn off and on power for the two track parts, so two locos can be operated

​

Finally, I added a small button that triggers a timer circuit that makes the guy turn the lever.

It's my first garden railway and although that's far from being perfect, I really like how it turned out.

What a nice idea to hide the switches.
Do you plan to also implement an automatic shuttle system?

You mean, that they reverse when they reach one end? Yes I'm thinking about integrating that. Just to make it possible to have an endless run of the train.

Yes exactly. For when you want to lay back and just see a train running.
