Wiring blocks
Posted by Georgep on Sunday, December 30, 2018 1:08 PM

I have wiring a question. I am using a BD4 for making blocks in my railroad layout.  My question is. Does the feeder wire from the blocked track also hook up to the track bus as well as to the BD4? Or is the blocked track feeder wire from the track hooked up to the BD4 directly without connecting to the track bus?

Yes.  The BD4 gets power from one bus wire and feeds one rail.  The other rail in the block gets it's power from the bus
