| Rather than spend the next 4 months hooking up temorary wired and playing ( the temptations) I'd would like to et the wiring right. See the diagram below. | |

You can see I'm plannig it big, Perhaps the booster may not be needed , but I'll be running lots of power hungry trains on the 5 amp system.
I do intend to divide the double deck into three main sections - Staging (both ends), Upper Deck, LowerDeck - which would eventually equate to boosters. The next level with those super blocks that use a 2-3 port curcuitbreaker (TTE or the like), being Stations and manline. Finally getting down to within the superblocks - I do intend to have track dections by current detectors for siganlling so the section are cut up to suit that as well.
But for now consider the extra booters not ther and the wired run through to the Circuit breakers direct.
My real question is can I hang the 1156 globes off the section , then go into these circuit breakers, ir does that defeat it all?
And Also, interested in how I'm doing the live frog of the point - Have I got it right ?
As I start to wore this, I'm intending to start witht he bottom layer - the section withing the super block - ie all the globes. As I have stared with a station and haven't set uo the end electrical center for the RR I thought the staion's wiring I'll do as I go.
Each station will have a wireing board where all wired up. Only main wired go around the layout. There will be a cental area fo rthe command station, CMRI ( or the like) etc.
For my concept on this. It will mean I can hook up to the DCC system (NCE) and try it out, without ripping temporary wiring out. I'll clarify what part of this I wish to do : | |

I'll attach the NCE system direct to the two wires comming off the diagram, which basically shows the local wiring board.
I know it all works well for protecting several blocks like this, but do I need the extra globe for the frog, would there be issues since it is part of the bigger block? After checking in at a good web site discussion board (Joe Fugate's), I decided for the moment I will not need the Circuit breakers, excpet for reversing sections. So the main wiring is easier than I thought. | |
