Deadlysteve Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 Hi all I want to wire my layout as soon as possible, I understand the whole Bus Wire thing and wires leading off to various places on the track, however how do I get from the mains (the plug socket in the wall) to the Bus wire?

Fishmanoz Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 Via the track output of your controller Steve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walkingthedog Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 Sorry if I appear to be treating you like an idiot, but on no account attach the mains directly to the track. I'm sure you know that. Welcome to the forum. There's tons of knowledge on here, ask whatever you like as long you don't mention companies other than Hornby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flashbang Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 Hi May I suggest a read of this page http://www.brian-lambert.co.uk/DCC.htm and perhaps the other pages too? As commented by WTD on no account allow mains power onto the layout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deadlysteve Posted July 4, 2013 Author Share Posted July 4, 2013 Thank you all, of course no mains power to rails, but thanks I have read through the first section of the blog you kindly sent to me, however the question still remains, how do I connect the Bus wire to the controllor, is there a socket for this or do I need to modify it somehow?

morairamike Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 Oh dear, the poster seems to be on a death wish. If as he says he understands the whole Bus Wire Thing then he has chosen the right screen name. Think he should read it all again. Deadlysteve you aren't by any chance an Edition 17 qualified sparky are you? or was your post a mickey take? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RDS Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 @Deadlysteve I think we could probably help you better if we knew a little bit more about your system. What controller are you using? I assume it is DCC as you put the thread in the DCC section? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
