Thank you for showing two DC trains running on the same track. So many people say you can't, but if you keep them apart it can work

Thanks for the info! Now I know i need feeders to make my train run right, and I'm also horrible at soldering, so that's something to look forward to. But having the train constantly running, instead of the "finger nudge" at certain parts of the track, will be most rewarding! Thanks Again!

Absolutely on the point dear Scott, those ratchet action crimping pliers are so much better for crimping electrical connectors. Years ago my washing machine went ‘kaputt’ inside the warranty period. So, I had the recommended service for my area come over. It seemed to be a quick fix. A few weeks later the exact same thing happened. Now, I checked myself, after all I had seen how to take the darn thing apart. The service dude had just reconnected the pump with a red wire crimp connector. However, he had obviously used his pincers or Monier pliers to crimp the connector. And yes, you guessed it, he had cut through the connector almost completely.
So, then I needed a new crimp connector and a tool to crimp it. I had such a simple electrical multitool, to cut small thread, and crimp all kinds of different items. However, the correct crimp saddle with the red dot, sat under the scissor hinge. This was rather inconvenient, because it meant I couldn’t really get the tool into the cavities of the washing machine to crimp the connector. Hence, I went for a browse at different hardware suppliers. Until I found one that sold Klauke, and that’s about the exact same model as you showed on the vid. Such a difference in ease of action and rigidity of the connection.
Cool how you did the wiring. Great vid. Cheerio

Here is a fun test you can do.  Connect your volt meter to the 64 foot end of track and read the voltage at approx 11.5vdc.  leave the volt meter on and add the train to the starting point.  Now watch the voltage as the train heads down the track.

Congrats on the 1k subs. 😃

Congrats on 1k Dave, nice one. The wiring makes sense, I think they call it 'future proof' lol. Look forward to your scenery build. All the best. Brian @ The Angels

Future Viewer Jay here. I now see the origins of the Michael Mouse hand pointer / Back Scratcher!!!! It is all making sense now.

Congratulations on the 1000 subs. Thanks for sharing. Stay safe.

Looking good and congrats on the 1K.

Congratulations Dave on hitting 1000 for your new channel . Eventually you will start to get resistance build up between the rails and the fishplates but as you have put in feeds to a bus it will be very very small . The people that advised you to put in a feed  every 3ft are probably using flexitrack which comes in 3ft lengths whereas you are using set track , no big deal . You can wire for DCC & DC with the use of a DPDT switch , let me know if you want the wiring diagram .

I like your layout here from Niagara Falls Canada 🎉

This was a great piece of work since you included the errors and corrections. It's hard to learn when everything goes just right (especially with a lot of editing) but to see what went wrong and the corrections is very instructive. Braw work, lad.

Loving your channel. Would like to see an update on the alternative to magnorail. Looked at many options but this seems the best option. Also I am from Glasgow and  love the start of the videos. "Youtubes" only a Scottish person would get that.

THIS is 1 GREAT HELPFUL VIDEO … SHAPE OF LAYOUT IS IDENTICAL TO MINE, AND THE BUS WIRE IS RUN IDENTICALLY … ENCOURAGING … THANK YOU  BIGTIME

Congrats on hitting 1000 !   :)

Oh, yes, and congrats on getting the track wiring done.

Thanks for Information on wireing

Nice work! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

great job ... i hated doing wireing  as i am a window fitter by trade .... i hate electronics but you carnt have a model railway without doing it ....... i carnt to get to 100 subscibers 👍👍

you correct,  I'm an electrician and know all about voltage drop, and cable size, very very important, and also I do multiple track feeder cables.

There will be no voltage drop if there is no current. If a current is set up (by adding a loco to the track for example) then a voltage drop will be measured.
