Join me in this exciting update as I overhaul my N scale model train layout with some major upgrades and automation enhancements! In this video, I'll walk you through the process of permanently installing the LokProgrammer unit and the ESU decoder tester with a test track, as well as adding three more tortoise switch machines to automate the entry and exit points of the coal yard. Plus, I'll explain why I've been absent from uploading recent videos – my graphics card failed, and I'm awaiting a warranty replacement from Zotac.

Despite the setback, I'm thrilled to share these upgrades and improvements with you, showcasing the progress and innovation happening on my layout. With the LokProgrammer and ESU decoder tester in place, I'll have greater control and flexibility over my locomotives' functions and performance, ensuring smooth operation and precise adjustments.

The addition of the extra tortoise switch machines will streamline operations in the coal yard, allowing trains to enter and exit seamlessly without manual intervention. I'll explain the automation process and the benefits it brings to the overall layout operation, enhancing realism and efficiency.

In the final segment of the video, I'll put the automated switches to the test by running a coal train through the coal mine, demonstrating how smoothly the train navigates the newly automated routes. It's an exciting moment that showcases the fruits of my labor and the potential for future expansion and refinement.
