Clovelly Road - Wiring 1

461 views

Today I started to wire Clovelly Road. The Red wires is South and the Black is North.

 

The initial tests were carried out with a DC controller and an unclipped locomotive. The connection to the controller was achieved using a temporary connection. This will be replaced with a permanent connection later.

 

The point is permanently wired, so that contact between the closure rails and the running rails is not critical.

The copper strip used to provide the power bus is self adhesive, yes you guessed it 'sticky back metal', no modeller should be without it!.

 

The adhesive works well, but when using non lead solders, with their higher melting point, the glue melts, and you have to push the strip down again. In extreme cases you have to reattach the strip with extra glue. The choice is yours what ever comes to hand.
