Plans for new layout-wiring a cross | O Gauge Railroading On Line Forum

Quizshow904OGR Forum Member SUPPORTING MEMBERDIGITAL SUBSCRIBER

Here is a view of the RR plan for the layout I am building on an 8 x 12 table. How do I wire the cross in the middle of the reversing tracks? I plan to have 3 separate transformers operating the 3 loops of track. I was thinking of wiring the inside reversing tracks with another transformer. Let me know what you think about the overall layout. This is my first time and I would appreciate any critiques. I am wiring using 18 awg drops, 16 awg wire back to my terminal blocks located in 4 places around the tracks and 14 awg feeders to the terminal blocks.

The beauty of three rail is reverse loops take no special wiring. Only two rail needs special wiring.

Looks like you have 2 double crossovers in the back. Just insulate the center rails between the crossover switches.
