Interlocking signals at Ruston

I got the Iowa Scaled Engineering "Interlocking in a Box" system installed and working.  

There are several different ways of setting this system up in regards to different types of delay settings for the signals to change.  All of which can be seen in their manual that's on their website.

I opted to use two Momentary On push buttons to control the signals to hopefully give my crews a more immersive feeling when operating the layout.    While the ICG trackage that my trains cross is basically a dummy track with no trains crossing, the system is designed to make it feel and act like the crews have to stop and call the dispatcher for a green signal.

The way I chose to set up the delays is fairly simple.  You push either of the buttons and you will wait for a green signal anywhere from 30 to 60 seconds.  Once the signal turns to green, you can choose for a 15, 30, 45 or 60 second delay, I chose to have a 15 second delay to start moving before the signal drops back to red.  After that, the system is reset and is ready for the next train.

Here is a quick video showing it in operation.  I shortened the video so you wouldn't have to wait for the full length of the delay.
