Well it is back to more wiring on my Last Great Project layout and whilst I thought that I had already previously wired up all the track I discovered I still needed to add power feeds at each end of two points so that is another 12 wires to deal with!
I am using these handy multi wire joiners which I got from DMG Electech, where I can feed up to 24 wires into one unit and then just have two wires powering them. Very handy as it saves cable, saves time and actually makes things a bit neater.
I am also using these screw terminal plug and sockets that I used to know as choc blocks to make the baseboard to control panel (once that is built!) connection. These are again really useful.
Having temporarily connected the various track feed wires up I thought that it might, given my history with wiring, to actually test that it all worked. So I connected up a controller and had this DMU go through all the tracks. Miraculously it powered its way around all the track without a glitch - I must have been lucky!
