Heath I really like your wire idea, I'm using different colors of extensions cords for my mains. That's how I keep my different sections for trouble shooting if needed. Your plugs really got my attention, Chris
Wow did not think you layout was that small, but perfectly formed. Good luck with the railroad inspector she did show a small amount of interest, but think she was looking for somewhere to sleep or something to eat. Stay safe, take care and have fun
Nice work Heath. Wire management is really something I need to focus on when building my next layout. I remember using these Anderson Connectors on my RC airplane batteries and speed controllers. Cant wait to see your circus trains running on the layout. All the best, John
Very nicely done heath - professional job. I really should re-watch a few times, I could learn something about wiring from you. Thanks for sharing. Best, John
I really like how neat your wire is, well done. I know nothing about block detection, but that is quality work! Thats a really nice module setup! Take care heath! -ian
They are Anderson Power Pole Connectors. I would recommend getting the ones from Powerex, but there are.a few different options out there. If you want more info, feel free to reach out to me via my email that is listed on my about page. -Heath
Doing the steps in order, is that like put the heat shrink tube on before your solder the wires together? Asking for "a friend" cause I'd never do that.
Steve. They are 16 gauge. I am running 12awg from the control box to the block detection device, then 16awg from block detection to module. The screw downs on the DR4088 are only big enough for 16awg wire.-Heath
some thing you might want to think about make 2 loops but its one continues rail what it looks like is folded in specs like a figure 8 but the rails are on top of each other so there is one cross over rail above the other so you can then elivate it a bit at the rear - hard to explain but the cross over in at the front - ok see if i can explain it cross over at the front as te loco goes over the xover it goes up a small incline till it reaches the rear then the track come down the incline agian and goes over the xover then it travels around the rear of the lay out on the base then as it comes around it goes over the xover again and back up the incline as 1 continues rail
I am basically following the t-trak standard with my track layout. In their standard, the double track is the basics. If there was a Free-MoN club in my area, I would have probably built to that standard. One day I will hopefully have more space.
Jerry, the wires are 16awg. I used 12awg from the control box to the block detection device, 16awg from the block detection device to the modules. 16awg is the largest wire size that fits in the screw terminals on the DR4088LN-CS. -Heath
@@BoxcarJerry Yes, 12 is not needed for my size layout, but I wanted the control system to be as universal as possible, so I went with 12 for the main run.

Nice job. I did get a laugh, at your expense, as I watched you tie the wiring to the snake without loading the covering.
~Jim
Jim, I wish I could say that is a rare occurrence. -Heath

Chris, thanks so much. I have to keep my wiring really neat so I can easily troubleshoot everything. -Heath

Carl, Sleeping and eating are two of her favorite things. Her toys are definitely also at the top of that list. -Heath
Nice cables Heath! Now I know who to go to for professional cables...lol. - Jason

John, Thanks so much!! -Heath
Hi Heath, Very nice job on the wiring, turning them into easy to handle cables. I'm looking forward to your next episode. Cheers, Rich S.
Rich, thanks a lot. I still need to get some heat shrink labels for my label maker. -Heath
Very nicely done heath - professional job. I really should re-watch a few times, I could learn something about wiring from you. Thanks for sharing. Best, John
John, Thanks so much, wiring is my favorite part!!
This was great... i was hesitant about those connectors at first but now seeing the cloth outer liner, i sooo want these. Thanks for sharing.
Rick, the connectors offer a lot of flexibility of options. But ye, without the sleeves, they would be much harder to manage. -Heath
hi Heath... fantastic update...love the wire harnesses..thx 4 sharing.. vinny
Vinny, thanks a lot!! -Heath
Really starting to take shape now Heath, looking forward to seeing the trains coming to life on the layout. Well done!
Phil, thanks so much!! -Heath
That’s a big train inspector for a small apartment. Great video Heath.
Mark, you have to be careful with her, or she will lick you!! -Heath

Hi Heath, 10/10 on effort. Any wireing looks complex to me. Haha. Great job. Cheers Grants/ Grant ; )
Grant, the wiring is my favorite part! -Heath
@@HumancityJunction "Well thats a major up side in my eyes..! Keep safe and well. Cheers Grant.
Look great, running trains soon
James, thanks for watching. I cannot wait for the trains!! -Heath
Seriously, another excellent video; cool to see.
Anthony, thanks so much!!
very nicely done looks really tidy look forward to the next video stay safe all the best from the UK 🙋♂️😁😁👍
Thanks 👍 -Heath
Sneaking this out while I’m watching a live stream with you, 😅 ... ok have to watch this tomorrow
Mike, I am terrible at UA-cam multi-tasking! -Heath
Human[c]ity Junction , me too! But I get better all the lol.
Very nice cables, thanks for sharing.
Ken, thanks!! -Heath
Very professional looking Heath. I think your found your calling...modules by Heath, check them out at your local hobby shop today!
Sean, thanks so much! -Heath
good job, i think the inspector agreed too lol
Fox, thanks so much! -Heath
Hiya Heath, nice work indeed very tidy job
Digger, Thanks so much! -Heath
Heath, great wiring video.
ChazCo, thanks so much. -Heath
Great job on those wires, they look very professional. I also enjoy your video quality!
Joe, Thank you very much! -Heath
That's taking wiring under the layout to a new level. I can't wait for the next episode!
Leslie, thanks so much!! -Heath
that's really fine work.
Mystic, Thanks! -Heath
Ok I like this format much better. It’s not as creepy. Lol.
Rebel, yes, I like it better as well. -Heath
Hi Heath, I saved this to my how to videos.
JD, thanks so much! -Heath
Hey Heath! I need more information about the connectors you are using between your modules, please.
They are Anderson Power Pole Connectors. I would recommend getting the ones from Powerex, but there are.a few different options out there.
If you want more info, feel free to reach out to me via my email that is listed on my about page. -Heath
@@HumancityJunction Thank you.
great video on how to do it and don't hurt your finger
Dwight, I finally bought the tool I need! -Heath
Doing the steps in order, is that like put the heat shrink tube on before your solder the wires together? Asking for "a friend" cause I'd never do that.
Fred, I have done that incorrectly more times than I would like to admit!! -Heath
Nice Job, what gauge are the wires? In the video they almost look like 12 awg
Steve. They are 16 gauge. I am running 12awg from the control box to the block detection device, then 16awg from block detection to module. The screw downs on the DR4088 are only big enough for 16awg wire.-Heath

@@HumancityJunction isn't 12 pretty big for your Nscale layout?
