Planning and building a control panel for running both DC and DCC on my HO scale model railroad layout.
I am using DPDT (Double Pole, Double Throw) toggle switches in my control to select the use of either DC or DCC (Digital Command Control) for each block or area of my train layout.
I also discuss the basics of model railroad electrical systems, wiring basics, and how the DPDT switches will work.
I am planning, designing, and building a new double deck, HO scale, layout wrapped around the room, with a helix.
The construction of a new HO scale model railway in a newly expanded room. Freelance modelling the 1970's, inspired by the Algoma Central Railway. Through this series I am hoping to show you how to plan and build a model train layout (or at least, how I do it).
How to wire a model Railroad (part 1). The basics... I will be following up soon with another video about how to connect the wires to the rails, and how to electrically isolate the rail sections.
