Donkey deep into wiring. I have 40 turnouts installed on just modules 1 & 1a and at least as many blocks requiring feeders and NCE BD-20 block detectors. Once all the block wiring and the accessory decoders are installed I plan to create a control panel with a diagram of the tracks and to install toggle switches and push-buttons to control the routes. The main line routes are going to be set using a NCE Mini Panel. For mainly economic reasons the industrial sidings, that do not require signalling, will use a central CDU (Capacitor Discharge Unit) and a diode matrix if necessary. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The following photos give an indication of where I am at with my wiring. Once finished I can start on building the industry kits and wiring up the temporary oval of track to enable test running and switching operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After attaching 2 pulleys to form an old fashioned “block & tackle” system Modules 1 & 1a were lifted into the air so that work could start on the wiring without having to work under the layout.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
