Had my first real run last night on the o31 main line after wiring everything up. What a difference it makes having power taps every 10 track section. The power was smooth and constant, no slowing down or buzzing e units. A real pleasure to run.
Tonight will be wiring for the o31 sidings and screwing down the o31 track.
Question about power sources:
Would like some guidance on which power sources to use for various accessories. The photo above is missing one additional small transformer, so two ZW and two small stand alone transformers.
I have four separate track runs, so obviously the four ZW handles will be for those. Remaining power requirements will be for twelve 1121 switches, lighting for structures, animated accessory power, four isolated sidings, and a derelict siding with smoking caboose and animated boxcar.
I’m unsure which transformers I should use with each requirement. Was thinking the sidings, and animated accessories should go on the stand alone transformers. Everything else would go on the ZW. Thoughts?
