As I said before I live in the sticks.

After buyn a new NCE system wireless with oh....I say 3 boards, Phoenix and speaker, NCE D408sr decoder and Digitrax DG583s makes me think to myself I got myself into a wire mess!

Help does not show or even make how I feel, more like 440v shocked.....

Been there and done that.  It only hurts until you cut the first wires.  Then it goes pretty fast.  Good luck.

Is it the red one with the white stripe, or the blue one with the orange stripe? And why is the lighting always colored, so you can't distinguish between them with only two seconds before detonation? If all the megalomaniacs of the world can standardize on wiring, what's keeping large scale train manufacturers from doing the same??? Wink [;)]
