Wiring N Scale for dcc
Posted by schmilc3 on Sunday, September 18, 2011 5:33 PM

I have A 3ft x 12ft layout . I'm using Kato track system. I'm have problems wiring it up for DCC. I would like some help with this. If anyone has any diagrams to help me with it would really help.

 What sort of problems? ALl you need are frequent feeders conencted to a single pair of heavier wire for the power bus, and just make sure tha tthe insid rail is always connected to the same bus wire and the outside rail is always conencted to the other bus wire. Cross them up and you'll get a short. Use two different color wires so you can keep it straight easier.
