Richie C. posted:Is there a concern that some of the wiring underneath the layout may come in contact with the metal frame, especially power supply and transformer wires ?
I'm also wondering how wireless systems like Legacy or DCS might be affected ?
Hello again Richie,
I am very comfortable working with aluminum and electrical wiring of all types and categories. I am a retired design engineer and spent the better part of the last 45 years designing and building ships, crew boats, work boats, line handlers, etc. and a big part of each vessel was the design and installation of electrical equipment from a simple 120Vac outlet to the latest Radar and Nav equipment. Properly grounded and shielded wiring is quite safe in and around an aluminum structure. As far as the wireless system, the aluminum frame would not have any more effect than the metal tracks or metal train equipment. I appreciate your concern and appreciate your help, after all I am a newbie in this hobby and have a lot to learn from all of the members. Thank you again.
