I have read several threads and watched the Lionel video on wiring. Now I am trying to explain how I plan to do this and would like your comments.
Power Source: Lionel 180 Brick
Track - Fastrack
Number of loops 3
Length of loops - (2) loops 45 feet +/- a foot (1) loop approx. 30 feet.
Legacy 990
Bus wire size 14 GA
Jumper wire size 14 GA
Wire size may be heavy but my first layout, 18 GA was used and I had a voltage drop of 3 volts from power connection to the outermost point.
My plan is to run the bus wire around the layout and place "jumpers" to each loop from the bus wire, I plan to have 4 "jumpers from the bus wire to each loop a total of 12 jumpers. I don't plan to have a jumper from one piece of track to another section of track as I do now...
How do I connect the Legacy 990? A jumper from a section of track to another section??
Thanks
Brent
