Over the weekend I Decided to buy the wire and Crimp Connectors for the layout for the DCC wiring so I ordered.

100M BLACK 1.5MM TRI-RATED CABLE x1
100M RED 1.5MM TRI-RATED CABLE x1
CRIMP BLUE TAP SPLICE x100
CRIMP BLADE SPLICE x100
6.3X0.8MM RED MALE BLADE PK100 x1

and I received them Yesterday.



So today I started on the hinged section first by screwing two Batterns to the underside of one of the Hinged sections.



Then I screwed four Electrical blocks to the Batterns and then connected four lengths of wire to them two red and two black,then I fitted 8 Blue Crimp Blade Splices to the wires and fitted 8 red male Blades to the wires from the track then connected them to the Blue Crimp Blade Splices and tested them with a multimeter.




There are four wires on the hinged sections so I can still run trains under DC till I get my DCC system,then both sets of wires will be connected to the main DCC Bus wires.
