I have three questions. Do the bus wires just go in the middle of the layout as you illustrated in the video or do they follow wherever the track goes underneath? Are terminal strips needed to wire a dcc layout and if so, how do I use them? And when I’m connecting my feeders to the bus wire, do I just strip away the part of the bus wire where I’m going to solder it to?
@dcctrain3 сағат бұрын
It can be in the middle or follow a track diagram, it depends on the layout shape. Try to avoid any screw terminal strips, need to solder everything.

Hi Maestro Круто, теперь мы увидели его внутри. Чему-то я у тебя научился, но мне нравится делать иначе, развив идею кабель менеджмента. Я использую жёсткий провод, изгибая его и фиксируя на корпусе. А для отдельных деталей использую коннекторы (это уже немецкая школа), дабы можно было по-человечески полностью разобрать локомотив. Это сложнее, но гораздо эстетичнее. С наступающим.

I have a diorama with two independent tracks, which are not connected by a turnout track. In this case, it would basically be your illustration in the video without the turnout track, would that also work? I mean, can I connect each red wire from each track and each black wire from each track, being them from track circuits without connections between each other and then connect the 2 final wires (4 interconnected wires) to the DCC? To have a DCC power supply for two different track circuits... remembering that it is a small diorama for displaying locomotives.

Hi Glad I found your tutorial. I've just got one of these decoder testers but I'm already stuck. I don't have a Lokprogrammer but I've downloaded the software. I presume I just connect the decoder tester to the programming track output of my controller? Hopefully you can point me in the right direction. Many thanks, David

Hi David! What is the manufacturer of your controller and decoder? The Lokprogramer software only works with ESU Lokprogrammer.
