Yet another Inglenook Shunting Puzzle

[Anvalo]

Hi,

Recently is made this little shunting layout just for the fun of it.

Plan was to use Peco code 55 track and turnouts and run a dcc shunter on it.

All rolling stock can be uncoupled by unsing of some magnets.

All turnouts and uncouple magnets are manually operated.

 

More info about the Inglenook can be found here:

The baseboard measures 30x120cm and this is the trackplan.

 

Placed all the rollingstock to give an idea about the dimensions.

 

 

Some slots had to be made for the magnet uncouplers.

An example of these uncouplers can be found here:

.

 

Each track of course needs a kind of bufferstop at the end (how do you call them when these trains don't have any buffers🙂).

The Tomix bufferstops can easily be removed and glued on the Peco track.

 

Here you can see the knobs for operating the turnouts and uncouplers.

The little toggle switch is connected to a DCC_EX (Arduino Mega) command station and sends the shunter forwards and backwards.

The Inglenook in action.

Made a unique card for each wagon, these cards can be randomly placed near the tracks.

First move here is to send the red Koki 200 with the ONE container to the right place.

Next is the green tanker (Taki 1000) and so on.
