Worklist: 
Install 2 server control units.
Complete track feed wiring.
Check plug/sockets/loom capacity for new components.

The fault in the servo programmer had been repaired, requiring just a wire to be resoldered.

The station board was tackled first, which has 2 servos for uncoupling magnets. Positions for the servo controller and voltage regulator unit were agreed. The main accessories power feed (19v DC) was located and a feed taken to the voltage regulator and then to the servo controller position. The servo controller was fixed in place and the servo connector cables fitted. The voltage regulator was adjusted to 11v. Using the programmer, each servo was setup and tested.


The bridge board has 3 servos - 1 point and 2 uncoupling magnets. The same procedure was carried out.


Feeds to track sections were also completed. Fortunately, we were able to accommodate all extra wiring on the existing board connectors. It was quite a long slog, but completing this work was very satisfying and a great relief.
