Will this wire wheel damage the plating on the wheels of earlier models that do not have solid stainless nickel steel tires ? Worry bout that.

It most likely would, you can use a nylon bristle one instead. It will work just as well.

I hope you are still around to answer this: All the MTH, Lionel accessory/buildings I have come pre wired with a short length of very thin wire. It appears to me that you are using standard stereo speaker wire which is much thicker. AmI correct and,if so,how did you handle it- cut off what came with the pieces and start over with the clear wiring, thicker wiring ? Thanks !!
@PrimeMoverVideos2 жыл бұрын
Hello, I did use speaker wire however only for track power feeders. It works very well with DCS. I use much smaller wire on houses and structures. Thanks for the question and Happy New Year.

@@PrimeMoverVideos Thank you for the quick reply !! If you don't mind because I'm about to buy a lot of it, what size did you use for your lit buildings and houses ? I have about a dozen stores / Main St kind of thing, and some track accessories-lights and soon plus half a dozen switch tracks on an 'L' shape 5''x14' and 5' x 10' lay out. I have a MTH water tower too and that motorised train barn thats been popular (forgetting the maker. They send out these units with a short section of wire nd the wire is really between thread and string size. Do you pull out the thin stuff and solder in the new thicker ? I can't tell if they're just being cheap or its a tip from them as to what size is appropriate ? Seems REALLY flimsy though. I run a MTH Z-4000 with a Lionel remote wired into the Z for power. I'm just getting started. Thanks for any advice, really appreciate it !!
@PrimeMoverVideos2 жыл бұрын
@flynnlizzy5469 Gosh I think I used 20 gauge. Low amperage things like the houses or small accessories where the amperage is low do not require a large gauge of wire. I think MTH uses 22 gage but I'm not positive on that.

I have done as you have in the past. I've never used speaker wire.. I like the idea of it. I noticed that you chose copper for Positive and the aluminum for Ground.. what is the theory of this practice? I don't believe you just happened to do it this way.. there must be a reason for this method. Thank you for sharing.
@richardbrown3061 Жыл бұрын
Makes it easier to identify the positive from common or ground. Same principle as electrical wire in a house. There is some speaker wire that has copper on both leads and some that has silver on both leads.

I hate those fake horns to be honest. There’s many quiet zones I know of that don’t even use them, plus - trains honk 4 times (2 longs, 1 short and 1 long) just before they occupy the crossing, but wayside horns honk incessantly from the second the crossing bell starts ringing to the second the train leaves the crossing. The railroad should just get rid of those horns altogether and replace them with 4-quadrant gates since they would constitute increased protection at a quiet zone crossing.
