Perch Lake Lumber CO. Layout Rebuild

Under Constreucion 6/19/23 thru 8/24/24

A long time and a lot of work

Coming soon

Latest drawing of the PLLC the blocks are marked with the color of the drop wires while the list shows the block numbers and their colors.

If you start at the staging yard lead as block 1 and follow around the layout you will see how the blocks will work. The use of color wires for the drops makes it easy to attach the DB20 detectors to the block feeders. The signals are in red, green, and yellow may show as black dots. The staging lead and the crossovers are electrically operated while all others are ground throws. The ground throws on the main lines report the position of the turnout to the signal system. Sidings in green are powered from their own breaker and shorts will not stop trains on the mains. The mains are divided between the left and right sides of the layout so there is some protection while not shorting the entire layout.

Signals are planned for the layout.

As of 7/10/23 the blocks are in with BD20 units on each yet to be tested while the layout is operational.

Continued in Section 8, is under construction
