Burnt fingers and short tempers...

No pictures for this update (some to come but battery died on camera) but as I suspect everyone knows what a point motor looks like along with burnt fingers and frayed tempers.

Seep PM1 point motors seem to work quite well with Peco Electrofrog points until it comes to wiring up a double slip and 3-ways which only come with instructions for the Peco point motor switch.

So after quite a bit of trial and error and then after later finding a very good website on here (Brian Lambert's site) I seem to have things working - only the rest of the wiring to complete now and then link the boards up and construct a control panel.

Anyone any suggestions or tips on the best way to make/layout a panel would be much appreciated - I've tried using plasticard for ease of drilling for switches and mimic lights etc but other than car lining tape I've yet to come up with a nice professional looking way of 'drawing' on the tracks etc.
