I set out to a lot this weekend but wound up getting next to nothing onto the layout...
I had decided to mount the blue point turnout units to small sections of 1/2" plywood, to have all the hardware done so mounting them underneath the plywood would be - theoreticaly- easier.
I did all this and am glad so far that I didn't mount them from underneath as they need a lot of work that way.
Putting 12 of them together, I broke out all the mounting kits I'd bought for them and found that all the hardware was short one set. I was less than happy to say the least.
I've e-mailed the manufacturer yesterday but heard nothing from them yet. I bought all this in a massive order from Micro Mark, but that was several months ago and I'd imagine they'd just refer me to the maker anyway.
So, i have 12 blue points mounted on 3X4" sections of plywood, all ready to be connected except the one that is lacking all the hardware. Still not happy as I wanted to do them all at once. But at least I got something done, I suppose, as cutting, drilling and screwing all that stuff together did take a while...
I also was going to prime the masonite fascia and then paint it. I had the right color green I wanted mixed at Home Depot, but then I realized I had no clue how I was going to mount the pulls for the blue points. So all the paint is still in the cans.
