Custom test bench - part 2: Components & Diagram

 Since the goal for this test bench is to host all testing options, I have the following inputs:

  1. DC power
  2. DCC with my Roco Z21 multiMAUS
  3. ESU LokProgrammer
  4. AUX which is in fact my ESU ECoS 2 Command Station
and I have 3 outputs:
  1. Track 1
  2. Track 2
  3. ESU Decoder Tester
Each track can take any of the 4 inputs, but obviously, the Decoder Tester will only take the 3 DCC inputs.
