Western Hills MPD extension part4

After putting off splitting the storage yard from the main layout I removed the bolts and separated the board. I took the opportunity to perform a little TLC with the wiring whilst I was able to turn the board over. The modified Hornby turntable can be seen using a small low geared motor from China directly coupled to the pinion [S.9643] that drives the Geneva drive parts [S.9602 & S.9573] are not used. The motor assembly is DCC controlled and works much quieter than the old Hornby motor. Next I plan to remove the terminus section of the layout to fit uncoupling ramps. More of that later
