Tony, calculate the voltage drop for your longest run. With your distances & the low voltage DC we use it may be an issue. PaulE
When I figured mine, 6amps, 12vdc, 14guage copper wire, x 25' run, the voltage drop was .75vdc. P'aulE
I shudder to think, what a project. PaulE
HI Tony well if you gonna rewire the lot you are gonna be busy an what does thisHi Paul, yeah, see what it is like when we get home today if I go down to the shed and pull out all the wiring and start again, be much more tidy and easier to trace if any issues,
the block bus wiring will have to be spot on for when I swap to DCC.

HI Tony yea its bloomin hot as jen is out in her bi kiny lol sun bathin but its makin no difference to me as my tiger slipway room is facein away from the sun an with the windows open im gettin a nice cool brezze to work in an yea tiger is comin on im very pleased at the speed its goin togeather at AN some more pics Tony of what you are doinAfternoon Chris, how are you going hear it is hot in the UK and as usual down the beach the social distance was out the window what I saw on the news.
Yes rewiring the lot will reuse as much wire as I can as wire is expensive, I use heat shrink now not tape any more, no work today will tomorrow hopefully on the bridge.
I am not sure what DCC stands for I think digital command control., joined the two stern sections together , tonight , a bit of a gap because I didn't line the bulkheads up pretty hard using cardboard sheets, at least I can fix that once I glue the two sections together .
It is very cold here 1 degrees, cold in the front bedroom, how is the tiger going .
Tony.
Digital Command Control........is correct. Welcome to high end model railroading.
