- Wiring
- Snap switches : Power is from the accessory 17V AC of a train power supply. So there are two wires for power. There is no actual + or - and the ohm meter reading are bonkers. One power wire connects to one of the 3 incoming switch wires. (Test the wires to see which does what before soldering them together.) The other two switch wires connect to NO (Normally Open) push buttons (or use the supplied switches and follow their directions). The other Power wire is connected to the other pole of the push button switches. (Make a divider wire so the 1 power wire can connect to both switches)
- Lighting connections - use 2 wire servo like connections - very small and easy to make....
- For large layouts divide the areas into blocks powered by individual power supplies... so there can be many trains running at different speeds.
