DCC wiring

[Elliot Fallows]

Hello All,

i just made one of my first proper Hornby Layouts and decided DCC was the way to go, I also want to do some DCC bus wiring as some parts of the track the trains are unresponsive (I assumed because it was a weak signal connection) my layout has 2 mainlines and a yard with 6 lines in it. Can any suggest how I would best go about this?

To start with fit the DCC clips at your points. These will transfer the power to all the layout .from there you could solder on to the rails and over time remove the clips and negate the track joiners.

There is no 'hard and fast' answer to your question. Each member on here is likely to have their own preference for wiring a 'BUS'....me included. I suggest you research the different proposals made by members in these forum pages (see below) and decide which method suits you most.

.

So rather than the forum membership re-inventing the wheel.

.

Type the word "BUS" in the 'Search Forums' box and click the green magnifying glass icon.

This should return this page (screen capture below). There are 10 pages of posts (see yellow highlight) relating to DCC wiring queries for you to review. If after reviewing these, you still have unanswered questions. Then by all means come back and ask specific questions of clarification on the end of this thread.
