I've finally finished rebuilding my first mimic. In this video I'll show you how I did it and how it works. Only another 4 to build and fit but it's nice being able to control the signals and points, well in 1 area of the layout at least.

That is some impressive do-it-all-yourself. Thanks for sharing!

Wow - that's a lot of skills involved in all that! Excellent results - and well explained. I'd like to have seen a bit more on how you did the wiring and connectors. Great stuff though.

Top notch mimic, reminds me of when I used to design them for industry!

Absolutely fantastic. The best, neatest and most professional mimic panel I've ever seen, truly a thing of beauty. I've never seen a printed circuit board used in a control panel for a model railway before, but the neatness, along with the D sockets and plugs take your work to the next level. I also admired your use of eyelets and cable ties to keep the wiring neat and tidy below the basboard. Outstanding quality of work. Do you produce these panels commercially?

Glad you liked it! it took a fair bit of drawing and planning

Wow 👌 Amazing knowledge and skills, way beyond my abilities! When I look at my mimic panel currently under construction it looks like a snakes nest. The fiddle yard one looks amazing. I'm presuming the Peco accessory switches provide the feedback to the mimic panel as you are using DCC and insulfrog points? Subscribed 👍

Thanks for your kind comments. If you watch the peco point motor base video you can see 1 of the storage yard boards nearly finished.

The scenic area point motors are cobalt omegas and have in built switches, all other point motors are peco with accessory switches. Not as good but they do the job
