Wiring question
Expert opinions welcome- I have two CW-80s and a 1033. I am in the process of building a two track loop layout with a number of accessories using conventional wiring. My wiring plan is to use a bus system like described in the new Lionel modular railroad fastrack system in the table below. Since I am running conventional, I assume I don’t need an earth ground. Each CW will run a locomotive on a track and the 1033 will handle accessories
A picture of the modular 8 terminal strip system is attached in the pdf.
Here is how I plan to connect to the transformers
1) phase all the transformers. Per the transformer diagrams in the pdf, U on the CW-80s and A on the 1033 are the “commons for all” (position 5 on the table). Tie these together.
3) track 1 power will be position 1 on the fastrack table and will be connected to A on the first CW80. The second CW-80 terminal A will be on position 8 for the second track.
4) 16V accessory voltage will be common and terminal C on the 1033. Terminal C will run on position 2 in the fastrack table.
5) for 11V lighting, bring both B and C to the item from the 1033. B on the 1033 will run to position 4 in the fastrack table.
Pictures of these transformer connections and the fastrack table are in the pdf- will this work? Thanks all.
