2e0dtoeric Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 This is virtually the same question as that asked b Mister Mears! (New DCC railway), and you will find the answer there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rog RJ Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 If you have droppers connected to every piece of track there is no need to add any more wires to bridge the fishplates. The DCC bus and dropeers are all that's needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrainDriverJ Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 If anyone doesn’t fancy soldering you could always use pre soldered fishplates with dropper wires and connect with screw down wire connectors to the bus wire. You could then decide not to solder to the track and still have a good system. Would work out expensive though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrissaf Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 No Johnboy it is not the 'norm'. Soldering wires between adjacent rails to bridge a track joiner is an alternative to implementing a BUS wire system not an 'as well as'. You use one or the other, not normally both together. Well at least not on the same rail sections of track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
