3 Short sections of track | O Gauge Railroading On Line Forum

clem kOGR Forum Member

Good evening

I have 3 short sections of track that need power and DCS signal. They are all between Ross turnouts and no power thru turnouts.

What is the best way to wire these? Three tracks, six wires and a power feed. Just make two bundles, red and black and attach to terminal board? or separate wires from each track and attach to terminal board. Personally I like separate wires from each track to terminal board. I already have seven blocks attached to MTH terminal board. Which is right under these tracks.

I would add a jumper under the turnouts, as appropriate to get a single feed. Gargraves used to come with jumpers, which I'd sever unless I had a situation like yours. Now they come without jumpers, so I'd add jumpers if I had another installation.

Is your TIU a rev L? Shouldn't matter just add a wire from the short tracks back to the last feed before the switch. Should work fine.
