| Color Code Your Wire - John Waitkus A simple solution
to "what wire goes where" is to color code your wire. Make sure that
you use only one color for each type of connection. Some examples; Red for
Block Power, Black for Common. White for Switch Machine Common, Blue and
Yellow for Switch Machine Power.
Also, make sure you use a large enough wire size for the application. 18 gauge
wire will work fine for layouts up to 4' by 8'. If your layout is any bigger,
get a larger wire for your connections. This will assure that you don't get a
voltage drop to the remote sections of your layout. |
