Hi All

At long last I completed the project to have working signals and cabin lights on my turntable This is a

record of the process to modify the existing non working signals lights supplied with the turntable to

have working LED lights put in switchable cabin lights all controlled by a ldquoLokPilot Fx V30rdquo decoder

and to use it with TrainController Systems Tested - Uhlenbrock Intellibox and ESU ECoS

Update 26-01-14 The LokPilot Fx V30 decoder failed today and was replaced by a LokPilot Fx V40

See pages 6 to 7 for further information

Red lights flash with the turntable bridge in motion and white lights signal entry or exit from the bridge

Notice that no light can be seen on the back of the signal head at the rear of the turntable as it has been

covered with thin black card

Modify Existing Signal Mast

This was the most time consuming part of the project and also the most difficult as it required fine

soldering skills

1 I drilled holes by hand from the front of the signal for each light using a 08mm drill held in a pin

vice there is a small indent moulded into the plastic to indicate the centre of the signal light

2 For the top right hand light two holes are required and because they are so close together I made a

slot by removing the small piece between the holes

3 From the back of the signal I enlarged the holes with a 15mm drill making sure I only drilled in by

about 06mm just enough for the LED lens to sit in

Wiring diagram viewed from the back of

the signal

All LEDrsquos are 0603 size

R= red W = white

The enamelled copper wire is 025mm

All resistors are 1k 06W and are

mounted under the bridge

4 I cut 4x 200mm lengths of enamelled copper wire and tinned the

ends using a 450 deg Iron with a solder bubble on the tip to burn

off the enamel and tin the wire ends which were trimmed to length

as required

5 I laid out the LEDrsquos on some ldquoBlue Takrdquo with the correct

orientation and distance and soldered the lengths of enamelled

copper wire with a temperature of 320 deg as in the above

diagram

6 With all wires temporary connected to the ldquoLokPilotrdquo decoder via

the required resistors I tested the LEDrsquos worked

7 Using a small amount of hot melt glue at the back of the signal

mast I then pushed the wired LEDrsquos into position Ensure the red

and white LEDrsquos that are very close together (top left rear view)

have a very small gap so the cathodes of each LED donrsquot touch

8 The wires were then routed along the back of the mast held top

and bottom by masking tape I used white glue and painted over

the wires and the back of the mast

9 With the glue dry I then removed the masking tape and painted on

another coat of white glue

10 Once the glue is dry I then painted the wires dark grey with acrylic

paint

Modifications to the Turntable Bridge I removed the turntable bridge cabin and drilled a 08mm hole just behind each of the signal mast

mounting holes (see red arrow)

For the cabin lights I used a 10mm

hole (see blue arrow) I drilled from the

top side in the bottom left corner to

ensure the cables were positioned in the

corner of the cabin and wouldnrsquot be

very visible from the outside

For cable access from the decoder to

the resistors I used a 15mm hole (see

yellow arrow) make sure cables clear

motor slide area

4x 1k resistors where mounted on Vero

board (10 holes x 6 foil strips) Make

sure the copper foil is drilledcut under

each resistor The Vero board is glued

into position by hot melt glue

Note - In the photo above you will

notice I have labelled the copper wires

with each function more on this later in

the text

For the power feed red wire to the decoder I made a small

thin plate from brass with a 35mm hole and soldered a

50mm length red wire to it and inserted the wire through

the hole below This location is where the centre rail

location pin on the underneath positions the centre rail and

would also serve as a positive location to hold the brass

plate

Modifications to the Turntable Bridge continued

For the middle section of the turntable I mounted a Vero board (5 holes x 9 foil strips) as a wire

interconnection strip board this was glued to the bridge deck by hot melt glue The wires from the

LokPilot Fx V30 decoder were soldered to the strip board and the decoder is held in place with some

double sided tape

The red and black wires (orange circle) are temporary connections just so I can program the decoder

The red wire (see red arrow) from the brass plate is disconnected at the moment to allow decoder

programming

The black wire (see black arrow) is soldered to ground rail of the bridge and is disconnected at the

moment to allow decoder programming The other rail is used for an s88 contact (yellow arrow)

See CV and colour table below

Five wires (ESU decoder wire) run from the strip board in the ESU colours for the decoder functions

(F1 F2 F3 F4 and +Pole) to the resistors under the turntable bridge cabin Note how I have routed the

wires to clear the commutator mount (see blue arrow)

Four wires (ESU decoder wire) run from the strip board in the ESU colours for the decoder functions

(F1 F2 F3 and +Pole) to the resistors under the turntable bridge opposite the bridge cabin (see white

arrow)

CV Settings and Wire Colours for LokPilot Fx V30

All CVrsquos where programmed on the

ECoS using the DCC option on the Programming Track which was connected to the red and black wires

on the bridge (see orange circle page 4)

Have the LEDrsquos temporary connected with clear identification on the wires to aid programming

3x 1k resistors where mounted on Vero board (10 holes x 4 foil strips) Make sure the copper foil is

drilledcut under each resistor The Vero board was glued at the position shown by hot melt glue

Once the Decoder is programmed itrsquos time to complete the wiring

Final Wiring

The red arrow indicates the 08mm hole just behind the signal mast and the yellow arrow indicates where

a 15mm hole is drilled close to the deck (the hole size could be smaller but I required a longer drill to

reach the rib)

Take one wire at a time from the signal mast remove the wire identity then thread the wire through the

hole (red arrow) from the top of the turntable deck then through the hole (yellow arrow) now re identify

the wire once again

Repeat the process for the remaining 3 wires making sure you identify each wire as you go

Now with all wires treaded through both holes pull all wires at the red arrow until you can plug in the

signal mast to its mounting hole on the topside of the deck

Make a wire loop as shown remove one wire identity at a time cut wire to length tin the end of the wire

and solder to the Vero board at the correct location (see page 5 for wire colour and function identity) now

repeat the process for the remaining wires With all wires soldered hold the wires with some tape as

shown

Final Wiring continued

For the cabin lights I used two greenyellow type plcc2 LEDrsquos connected in series mounted on Vero

board (13 holes x 2 foil strips) Under each LED the foil strip has been cut at the right hand end you will

notice a wire bridge across the foil strips for the return path from the cathode to the resistor (F4) below

the turntable deck

I made a loop for the cabin lights wire

(blue arrow) to allow removal of the

cabin in the future as required using

tape to hold it into position The

cathode wire was soldered to F4

resistor and the other wire to the

+Pole

Take one wire at a time from the

signal mast remove the wire identity

then thread the wire through the hole

(red arrow) from the top of the

turntable deck now re identify the

wire once again

Repeat the process for the remaining 3 wires making sure you identify each wire as you go

Now with all wires treaded through the mast cable hole pull all wires at the red arrow until you can plug

in the signal mast to its mounting hole on the topside of the deck

Make a wire loop as shown remove one wire identity at a time cut wire to length tin the end of the wire

and solder to the Vero board at the correct location now repeat the process for the remaining wires With

all wires soldered hold the wires with some tape as shown

Signal Mask The last thing to do is to cut some thin black card to glue on the back of the signal head to cover the wires

and to act as a light barrier when the LEDrsquos are on

TrainController Requirements

The first thing I needed to do was to define a Car that would switch all the

functions required by the turntable signals and cabin lights All functions on

the ldquoLokPilotrdquo decoder can be switched onoff via the Train Window as

shown

I defined the Car with an address of 90 (see

CV table on page 5) and defined the four

functions required

The extra items I added to my Switchboard

were few to allow automatic control of the

turntable signals and cabin lights

I added two flags to the existing turntable OffOn toggle switch Next I added the TT Cabin Lights

OffOn toggle switch and the associated OnOff Flagman

I added the TT Signals GoStop toggle switch and associated OnOff Flagman to allow me to control the

turntable entry signals without having to have the turntable in motion this looked better as I was able to

stop locomotives on the entry track when running schedules

The last items were to add a track and block to allow me to associate the Fx Car for the automatic

operation

Final Wiring continued

For the cabin lights I used two greenyellow type plcc2 LEDrsquos connected in series mounted on Vero

board (13 holes x 2 foil strips) Under each LED the foil strip has been cut at the right hand end you will

notice a wire bridge across the foil strips for the return path from the cathode to the resistor (F4) below

the turntable deck

I made a loop for the cabin lights wire

(blue arrow) to allow removal of the

cabin in the future as required using

tape to hold it into position The

cathode wire was soldered to F4

resistor and the other wire to the

+Pole

Take one wire at a time from the

signal mast remove the wire identity

then thread the wire through the hole

(red arrow) from the top of the

turntable deck now re identify the

wire once again

Repeat the process for the remaining 3 wires making sure you identify each wire as you go

Now with all wires treaded through the mast cable hole pull all wires at the red arrow until you can plug

in the signal mast to its mounting hole on the topside of the deck

Make a wire loop as shown remove one wire identity at a time cut wire to length tin the end of the wire

and solder to the Vero board at the correct location now repeat the process for the remaining wires With

all wires soldered hold the wires with some tape as shown

Signal Mask The last thing to do is to cut some thin black card to glue on the back of the signal head to cover the wires

and to act as a light barrier when the LEDrsquos are on

TrainController Requirements

The first thing I needed to do was to define a Car that would switch all the

functions required by the turntable signals and cabin lights All functions on

the ldquoLokPilotrdquo decoder can be switched onoff via the Train Window as

shown

I defined the Car with an address of 90 (see

CV table on page 5) and defined the four

functions required

The extra items I added to my Switchboard

were few to allow automatic control of the

turntable signals and cabin lights

I added two flags to the existing turntable OffOn toggle switch Next I added the TT Cabin Lights

OffOn toggle switch and the associated OnOff Flagman

I added the TT Signals GoStop toggle switch and associated OnOff Flagman to allow me to control the

turntable entry signals without having to have the turntable in motion this looked better as I was able to

stop locomotives on the entry track when running schedules

The last items were to add a track and block to allow me to associate the Fx Car for the automatic

operation

Modifications to the Turntable Bridge I removed the turntable bridge cabin and drilled a 08mm hole just behind each of the signal mast

mounting holes (see red arrow)

For the cabin lights I used a 10mm

hole (see blue arrow) I drilled from the

top side in the bottom left corner to

ensure the cables were positioned in the

corner of the cabin and wouldnrsquot be

very visible from the outside

For cable access from the decoder to

the resistors I used a 15mm hole (see

yellow arrow) make sure cables clear

motor slide area

4x 1k resistors where mounted on Vero

board (10 holes x 6 foil strips) Make

sure the copper foil is drilledcut under

each resistor The Vero board is glued

into position by hot melt glue

Note - In the photo above you will

notice I have labelled the copper wires

with each function more on this later in

the text

For the power feed red wire to the decoder I made a small

thin plate from brass with a 35mm hole and soldered a

50mm length red wire to it and inserted the wire through

the hole below This location is where the centre rail

location pin on the underneath positions the centre rail and

would also serve as a positive location to hold the brass

plate

Modifications to the Turntable Bridge continued

For the middle section of the turntable I mounted a Vero board (5 holes x 9 foil strips) as a wire

interconnection strip board this was glued to the bridge deck by hot melt glue The wires from the

LokPilot Fx V30 decoder were soldered to the strip board and the decoder is held in place with some

double sided tape

The red and black wires (orange circle) are temporary connections just so I can program the decoder

The red wire (see red arrow) from the brass plate is disconnected at the moment to allow decoder

programming

The black wire (see black arrow) is soldered to ground rail of the bridge and is disconnected at the

moment to allow decoder programming The other rail is used for an s88 contact (yellow arrow)

See CV and colour table below

Five wires (ESU decoder wire) run from the strip board in the ESU colours for the decoder functions

(F1 F2 F3 F4 and +Pole) to the resistors under the turntable bridge cabin Note how I have routed the

wires to clear the commutator mount (see blue arrow)

Four wires (ESU decoder wire) run from the strip board in the ESU colours for the decoder functions

(F1 F2 F3 and +Pole) to the resistors under the turntable bridge opposite the bridge cabin (see white

arrow)

CV table on page 5) and defined the four

functions required

The extra items I added to my Switchboard

were few to allow automatic control of the

turntable signals and cabin lights

I added two flags to the existing turntable OffOn toggle switch Next I added the TT Cabin Lights

OffOn toggle switch and the associated OnOff Flagman

I added the TT Signals GoStop toggle switch and associated OnOff Flagman to allow me to control the

turntable entry signals without having to have the turntable in motion this looked better as I was able to

stop locomotives on the entry track when running schedules

The last items were to add a track and block to allow me to associate the Fx Car for the automatic

operation

CV Settings and Wire Colours for LokPilot Fx V30

All CVrsquos where programmed on the

ECoS using the DCC option on the Programming Track which was connected to the red and black wires

on the bridge (see orange circle page 4)

Have the LEDrsquos temporary connected with clear identification on the wires to aid programming

3x 1k resistors where mounted on Vero board (10 holes x 4 foil strips) Make sure the copper foil is

drilledcut under each resistor The Vero board was glued at the position shown by hot melt glue

Once the Decoder is programmed itrsquos time to complete the wiring

Final Wiring

The red arrow indicates the 08mm hole just behind the signal mast and the yellow arrow indicates where

a 15mm hole is drilled close to the deck (the hole size could be smaller but I required a longer drill to

reach the rib)

Take one wire at a time from the signal mast remove the wire identity then thread the wire through the

hole (red arrow) from the top of the turntable deck then through the hole (yellow arrow) now re identify

the wire once again

Repeat the process for the remaining 3 wires making sure you identify each wire as you go

Now with all wires treaded through both holes pull all wires at the red arrow until you can plug in the

signal mast to its mounting hole on the topside of the deck

Make a wire loop as shown remove one wire identity at a time cut wire to length tin the end of the wire

and solder to the Vero board at the correct location (see page 5 for wire colour and function identity) now

repeat the process for the remaining wires With all wires soldered hold the wires with some tape as

For the cabin lights I used two greenyellow type plcc2 LEDrsquos connected in series mounted on Vero

board (13 holes x 2 foil strips) Under each LED the foil strip has been cut at the right hand end you will

notice a wire bridge across the foil strips for the return path from the cathode to the resistor (F4) below

the turntable deck

I made a loop for the cabin lights wire

(blue arrow) to allow removal of the

cabin in the future as required using

tape to hold it into position The

cathode wire was soldered to F4

resistor and the other wire to the

+Pole

Final Wiring

The red arrow indicates the 08mm hole just behind the signal mast and the yellow arrow indicates where

a 15mm hole is drilled close to the deck (the hole size could be smaller but I required a longer drill to

reach the rib)

Take one wire at a time from the signal mast remove the wire identity then thread the wire through the

hole (red arrow) from the top of the turntable deck then through the hole (yellow arrow) now re identify

the wire once again

Repeat the process for the remaining 3 wires making sure you identify each wire as you go

Now with all wires treaded through both holes pull all wires at the red arrow until you can plug in the

signal mast to its mounting hole on the topside of the deck

Make a wire loop as shown remove one wire identity at a time cut wire to length tin the end of the wire

and solder to the Vero board at the correct location (see page 5 for wire colour and function identity) now

repeat the process for the remaining wires With all wires soldered hold the wires with some tape as

shown

Final Wiring continued

For the cabin lights I used two greenyellow type plcc2 LEDrsquos connected in series mounted on Vero

board (13 holes x 2 foil strips) Under each LED the foil strip has been cut at the right hand end you will

notice a wire bridge across the foil strips for the return path from the cathode to the resistor (F4) below

the turntable deck

I made a loop for the cabin lights wire

(blue arrow) to allow removal of the

cabin in the future as required using

tape to hold it into position The

cathode wire was soldered to F4

resistor and the other wire to the

+Pole

Take one wire at a time from the

signal mast remove the wire identity

then thread the wire through the hole

(red arrow) from the top of the

turntable deck now re identify the

wire once again

Repeat the process for the remaining 3 wires making sure you identify each wire as you go

Now with all wires treaded through the mast cable hole pull all wires at the red arrow until you can plug

in the signal mast to its mounting hole on the topside of the deck

Make a wire loop as shown remove one wire identity at a time cut wire to length tin the end of the wire

and solder to the Vero board at the correct location now repeat the process for the remaining wires With

all wires soldered hold the wires with some tape as shown

Signal Mask The last thing to do is to cut some thin black card to glue on the back of the signal head to cover the wires

and to act as a light barrier when the LEDrsquos are on

TrainController Requirements

The first thing I needed to do was to define a Car that would switch all the

functions required by the turntable signals and cabin lights All functions on

the ldquoLokPilotrdquo decoder can be switched onoff via the Train Window as

shown

I defined the Car with an address of 90 (see

CV table on page 5) and defined the four

functions required

The extra items I added to my Switchboard

were few to allow automatic control of the

turntable signals and cabin lights

I added two flags to the existing turntable OffOn toggle switch Next I added the TT Cabin Lights

OffOn toggle switch and the associated OnOff Flagman

I added the TT Signals GoStop toggle switch and associated OnOff Flagman to allow me to control the

turntable entry signals without having to have the turntable in motion this looked better as I was able to

stop locomotives on the entry track when running schedules

The last items were to add a track and block to allow me to associate the Fx Car for the automatic
