As I was working on this mess today it occurred to me that the wiring under a layout is a lot like the trackwork above it. In the end it all comes down to a single wire that plugs into the wall. From there it branches out into all this….

The wiring is all finished now, tucked in place and all neatened up.

Next up is to mount the Digitrax onto a small shelf underneath and install all the sockets to plug the three sections into.

On to Next Section…

  1. I think it goes without saying that one can really appreciate the certain benefits of creating a modular layout like this one. You can flip it up on its side(s), and work on the electronics as opposed to crawling underneath the benchwork on your back. Post up some operating videos after the show. Not all of us can make it. 😉
