I don't have any new pictures today since I have been working on setting up the dispatchers panel in JMRI.  All the mainline turnouts are controlled by JMRI PanelPro.  The computer is connected to the layout via a LocoBuffer - USB.  Part of this process involves installing PTF (Positive Turnout Feedback) using the sensor abilities of the Digitrax DS64's.  This controls the turnout icons on the Dispatchers Panel.  This will prevent a mainline turnout from being misaligned even though the computer has told it to move.  The icon will now show the exact position of the turnout. 

Also the 15 tracks in the staging are setup with block detection through the BDL168.  This also shows up as occupied or available on the Dispatcher Panel.

Merry Christmas!!
