NTS&B Phase 5 Inside and Raised Loops Controls Completed

The  inside loop and raised loop track power switches, accessory switches and switch track control have been installed.  The raised loop siding does not have a separate control switch.  Instead it is controlled by the Inside Left throttle lever of the ZW.  The green track power control for the inside loop has 2 switches for the outside siding, and 2 for the inside siding.  The extra switch on the outside siding controls the stop and go feature of the passenger station.  The extra switch on the inside siding selects inside or outside right ZW controls for the steep down grade in the helix.  It was intended to be able to run a conventional engine, but the kinks have not been worked out yet.  For now, engines with cruise control are used, and both switches select the outside right ZW handle.
