Joe, I am new to model railroading, and new to trains.com, this was effectivley the first thread I read. Although, this point has been made here already, I think it worth repeating, the information you have provided here is of great value, and I think more importantly your ability to provide it in such a clear manner. You are certainly an asset to this community. Forgive me for going back in the thread a bit, but I am an electrical engineer, and although I fully understand the benefit of the current limiting capabilites of the 1156 lamp (and am enamored by both the elegance and functionality of this solution) I do have a question pertaining to the following graphic: [quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by jfugate TOPIC THIS POST: Wiring details for 1156 bulb train blocks ... Once you add all the toggles, bulbs, and track feeders for your power district, here's what you get. This is the complete wiring to add 1156 bulb short management to your layout. [img]http://mymemoirs.net/model-trains/images/post_photos/1156bulbs/Slide7.JPG[/img] (clcik to enlarge) ... [/quote] In the far left "bulb sub-district" (and the far right "bulb sub-district") you have multiple taps from your main "+" bus and your lamped "-" bus to that sub-section of track. I understand that this sub-section of track would be an average "train length" long, so I am curious why you would have more than one electrical connection here? Thanks again for all the great information. Mike
