Note to self, "Check and Double Check."
What it did show me was how easy it is to remove the turnouts by unsoldering the wires and snipping off the bent over and glued pins.

I've made a couple more modules.

The second of the double ones, and . . .

a single one. This is the only one that I was able to save from the first layout. Even then I had to solder the points of the frog together and put in an extra frog wire to get it to work.

I might make up one of Sol's CDU's so I can bench test the solenoids. Everything else works.

Now I can test each one before I move on to the next one.

I'm using the DPDT switch next to the red LED bezel. Terminals 1 2 and 3 have the three wires to the solenoid motor and terminals 7 and 8 are the 12 Volt DC power supply for the LEDs on the turnout.

I guess that some of us are organised and tidy and others, like me, are ….. erm….. not.

Do you find it gets easier as you get more done Max ?
When I'm doing multiples of anything, I usually find a quicker/easier way to produce a better end result by about half way, so go back and re-do the earlier efforts …………..

Each one still takes me between 4 and 5 hours.

My little work area is constantly like that! Mind you, I can nearly always find things. It is when I tidy up that I then can't remember where things are anymore!!
Sounds like you are nearly half way with your modules. When doing similar things, I usually get fed up around half way and then "invent" a different way of doing things to re-kindle my interest. I remember taking part in "Management Training" exercises where I was never categorised as a "completer/finisher". Trouble is, when modelling on my own, there is no team around to do the completing and finishing for me :sad:
Looking forward to seeing more candid photos of your progress.

I don't think I've ever seen anyone do it like this - maybe there's a reason why . . .
