I'm enjoying this video series immensely. I've never soldered anything (I'm new to model railroading and have only a starter oval), but your clean soldering makes me want to try it.
If you're ever in Atlanta, I'd love to meet you in person. You're giving me one heck of an education here. Thank you, fine sir.

Thank you!! Soldering made easy. Congratulations you have made a subject/ technique which I (and many others) dread look very easy:-) Brilliant.

Oh cool cause I would wreck my layout if I did it your way. I just need terminal track every six feet! Thanks!

Do you need feeders on a 12x8 layout? What are feeders? They look complicated!
4202EJW 1 year ago
Yes. If you are running a DCC layout you should have a set of feeders one to each rail every six feet of track. Feeders are simply 22ga stranded wire that you solder to the track then make your power connection to your DCC command station or DC transformer. You can also buy terminal strips that already have the feeder soldered to them and they look like rail joiners. In fact you use then instead of rail joiners.

So I only need one wire connected to one rail? What about the other rail?
DL2045 2 years ago
Two wires, one to each rail, one to each terminal of the DCC power station.

So several wires can go back to the power station?
DL2045 2 years ago
Normally you would run two wires out of the dcc power station. these two wires are your power bus. then from these two wires you splice in smaller gauge wire called feeders. these feeders then get connected to the track every six feet. make your wires color coded (Black and red) so that you keep the polarity the same through out the layout and do not create a short circuit.
