InactiveI gotta say something. At first I thought this might be one LARGE pcb behind this and I switched over here to see it. And the you-tube video is a nice picture of the same. So now I’m thinking it’s several of your pcb boards all run in a main box. I’ll be waiting with bated heart for more info!
Hats off to Wilkie1

GuestOh. I forgot. Add about 50 feet of Barry’s Best Wire and about 1 pound of solder.

GuestMany thanks to you, my friend. Your builds have inspired many of us.
This one started when my old German HO train nut passed away. I had made a lighting control panel for him. I took that enclosure (Hammond 1456RL3WHBU from Mouser) and realized it had room and predrilled holes for many effects That started the design.
Barry and I had been talking about series/parallel switching for some time. That led to the following switching system:

PlaysforfunModeratorVery cool indeed. I’m going to have to digest that a few more times.

BillyModeratorDon’t know if I could operate that Wilkie never mind build it
I’m sure if they dig that up in the future they’ll be scratching their heads on some tv programme making comparisons to the Antikythera mechanism!
Superb work even Pete Cornish would be envious
