I can't claim credit for the woodwork; there's a company in FL that cuts the wood for you (you send them a table plan with dimensions and they do the rest). I did have some discussions with the owner about the "diverge off the main" into the LI Sound leg. Fortunately I'm pretty good drawing what I wanted so he understood completely once we spoke. Everything came in a big box several months later pre-cut and pre-marked with instructions. |

Next step is to buy a crimper for Molex pins so I can wire a Molex connector for the DCC power panel to a terminal block. I'll also prewire Molex connectors and attach them to the terminal blocks before gluing down the foam. Once I drop track feeder wires they'll be attached to the other end of the Molex connectors. If I ever need to diagnose a short later on I can simply disconnect the connectors one at a time until I find the source of the short. |
