model railroad yard controls

I decided to make the 4 track yard on my layout a bit easier to use (and fancier) by motorising all the turnouts and adding a "one touch" control panel.

Now, instead of operating each turnout to select a route into the yard, all I need to do is push a single control on the panel and all the tracks align auto-magically.

Here's the previous video about the touch sensors:
   • tinkering with touch sensors  

I show in detail how I installed the servo motors in a couple of previous videos:
   • servo driven turnout  
   • servo driven turnouts 2  

And here's my code, for those masochists who want to look closer at it:

This isn't the only way to do it.
It's probably not the best way to do it.

But it's how I do it.
