Reply to "Re-wiring Layout"

Arnold that is one heck of a undertaking.

I have been going through a heck of a under taking by taking charge of our clubs new layout wiring. We really don’t want this to be a rats nest but it needed to be flexible as a lot of the scenery is still not set in stone.

This is what is seen up top the layout (ignore bridges as they only represent what track goes over the other)

we ran a 14AWG  “bus” down the length of the layout then came off of that down each of the 3 peninsula’s. From there there were 18AWG feeders every 8ish feet that tied to the main bus.

Unfortunately this is the only picture I have from when we put the bus in. Crimp connectors are used and we soldered the wires to the connector just for good measure.

every drop was then soldered to the Ross/GarGraves track

I don’t have many pictures from under the layout I’ll have to get some more when I’m under it tomorrow.
