rail yard power

[Anonymous]

Hello, i have a rail yard that i just built, my ony problem is i can see to get power to the left switchoff yard, right now the yar consists, of only 2 lines off a lef hand switcher , i have the atlas wiring book but its models of how the wiring is done is through, a big connector switch and the power connecters are different, can anyone explain how to wire up the rail yard, using powered rail joiners connected up to the dc slot on my controller? thanks for all of your time.

Hey tim,
Let me ask a few questions to help us answer your question right. Are you planning to isolate the yard from the rest of your layout or is it getting powered but the track it joins on to. If your powereing it so you can have it isolated then your need the isolation joiners. Then you have to connect the power to a switch to get the power to turn on and off. If it's being powered from the track its connected to then you may have a switch that is not feeding the power to the track. If this is the case than all you have to do is connect a feeder wire to the yard or buy a new switch. This should help a little I'm sure someone with a little electrical know how will fill in the rest of the details.

Tim;

I strongly you suggest you wire it exactly as Atlas suggests until you gain knowledge sufficient to design your own wiring scheme.
