Connecting Rosie's Roadside Diner

George, skip using the wire provided and use a larger gauge wire. That'll help.

Thanks O-gauger, I am using a larger gauge wire than what was supplied for the power and switch wires.

 

Problem is the paper thin wire used and connected to the street lamps.

 

It is difficult getting it through the loops and when it does, has the tendency to slip out of the loop.

 

Very frustrating.

Strip the wire back a bit more. Thread it through the loop and twist it back around itself so it stays put.

Gromet thanks, that's probably the best approach and I will try it.

IMO I would watch that little red switch. I already burnt up a smoke unit because I could never tell the position in was in. It's so small. Of course my eyes aren't as good as they use to be either.

Thanks guys for your input.

 

I will try to tin the wire too though I might need a microscope to do that with these old eyes.

 

From my other accessories I know better than to use the supplied little switch, my local hardware store's simple toggle switch seems to do the trick.

 

Now if I can prevent the horses in my corral from falling over, I would be a happy camper lol.

I'll take your advice on the switch  if I can get the smoke unit fixed. Our eyes seem to have something in common.
