Inglenook shunting puzzle | 00 gauge model railway

Operating my '00' gauge inglenook shunting puzzle model railway. The aim of the puzzle is to shunt the eight wagons between the three sidings to create a randomly ordered group of five wagons.
I've used google sheets to create a 'randomiser' to generate the sequence of wagons that need to be formed.
No talking, just operation.
Features the Hornby W4 Peckett 882 'Niclausse' 0-4-0 steam locomotive.

this serial is very fantastic friend.

That's a quite nice combination of an inglenook with proper modelling.
Really enjoying to watch the movements of the rolling stock.
Well done !
Best wishes

Hi.
Lovely Saddle Tank and rake of wagons. Maybe add an extra siding to make the puzzle more complex. And replace the dreaded tension locks with magnetic couplings. So much easier to 'push' apart and no problem with them coming apart on such a small rake of rolling stock. Just a suggestion mate.

Nice layout and smooth running!
Can you please link my the google sheet please? Even if in read only I can work with that. Been looking for something like this for a while!

Here's a link to the google sheet docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1QBmzxjY8qIt7r6vMsgHbXPlHPxnjneqVJbrr_xsMgb8/edit?usp=sharing

Lovely looking layout! It is far becoming a bug bear of mine, but why is point motor technology so terrible? Why does it have to sound like a shotgun blast every time a point is shifted? I am going to stick to rods under the table until someone comes up with a better idea. Anyhow, love the randomiser idea and the look is great! Loads of playability. Really nice! Chris @ Wealdhurst.

I know what you mean on the point motors. I’ve since upgraded to some servos which are much quieter and more satisfying to watch.

Hi - have you had a look at the Mega Points Controller system. They use servos for point motor control, much quieter.

How did you make your uncoupled please ? 😊
