Sound like you have a big project ahead of you. You really do not need 2 bus lines to the far distant track. The outer rails are the ground and so send th electricity back to the source. You need the center feeder wires only. Save yo a lot of wire to do just the center rail. You use flux when soldering the wires to the track. Flux would also make soldering the tracks together easier.

PaPaville, you are a lifesaver for this! A lot of folks don’t show the drilling of the holes nor good examples of connecting wires under the actual table. This vid along with the terminal block one will be super helpful for when I do my layout!

When you use a junction block - you can jus strip the insulation off of a short piece of wire then you can just screw the bare wire to the terminals you want all together. No need to use those crimp on spade lugs. Easier and less work and cost.

So you have never had a problem with the t taps or suitcase connectors. So many different views on using them. Nice layout. Thanks for the video

So far, no problems at all, as long as they are properly installed you shouldn’t have any issues

Thanx I like the way you explain wiring easier 2 understand so thanx alot gunna be building a layout and the wiring part kinda scares me never done wiring before I plan on using fast track
@larryberger944022 күн бұрын
When you use Fast Track be sure to put a piece of foam board s the top layer of the table. This will dampen the sound.

Thanks for sharing. Why did you go to tubular and nixed the fasttrack?
@Pvilletrains3 ай бұрын
Tubular is much quieter , I my opinion, and I can customize the track lengths if needed

Cool video,,,,i had one of those auto feed soldiers and it was junk i threw it out i like all my wellers ,,,dont waste your money
@Pvilletrains10 ай бұрын
Thanks, the automatic, feeding ones I’ve seen look like they’re very cheaply made. I’ve also seen a couple of review videos on them and again they don’t seem like they’re that good too many problems with them.

Where did you get all those connectors? Can I get them at Menards?
@Pvilletrains7 ай бұрын
I got my from Amazon, just search , T-tap wire connectors. I checked Menards web site and didn’t see them. Although there are different versions of this type of connectors available at Menards. I shop there when ever possible. Here’s a link to the original set I bought from Amazon to see if they would work for me a.co/d/a2BQVSA

At time 20:15, it appears that you have wired a direct short, red to black and black to red.

Great call. I noticed that after I powered everything up and went back and changed it, but forgot to edit that in the video.
