great video and layout. I believe this is what I was looking for to use on my barrel loader without using track voltage. with my zw should be able to the variable voltage settings. it's tedious work but worth the effort. and I liked you music also it makes working better IMHO.
Glad to have found this video. If the R C tracks are wired this way the remote power system is only controlling the unload and uncouple functions and not the track power needed to have the engine continue across this tack without cycling the e unit..., correct?
With this wiring configuration, I’m guessing you have to use fiber pins and also lock the e-unit in forward? Nice video Ely. Not as scary as photos you’ve posted of the controllers parts in pieces.
Why… because Why Not! By wiring it in this manner, you can have a train sitting there w/ zero power to the rails & said transformer not even turned On, yet the track section is still powered & operational from a completely different transformer. Call it a fun & helpful upgrade if you’d like.
Cold-solder joints bad! Need soft pads on vice teeth no chance of piercing insulation. Use vice to hold pieces during soldering not fingers Will help to study solder connections.
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious !! There will be many that will be happy you posted this tutorial! Great stuff! 👋
Thank You James!
Hopefully it’ll be of help to some folks.
Thanks! All your videos are excellently filmed and the methods provided are professional. Live your layout as well! Thanks again!
Appreciate your compliment David, Thank You very much Sir!
Great mentoring video. Would have saved me countless hours and heartburn.

I've seen that track before, and wondered what it is used for!

Excellent video, I think using independent power for accessories is great. Those controllers can be a booger to work on.

Why? What is the advantage?

Couldn't hear what you are saying because of music noise..
What part/s did you not understand, Roger?

These solder joints are just fine… 🙄
😆😆😆
I shut this off because of the ghastly music!
Background music is redundant, distracting, and actually unnecessary. But I appreciate your tutorial.
Is Your Mute Button or Volume Control- Broken? 🙄
… but Thanks.
The music is way too annoying!
The music is annoying.
And, so are folks like You who don’t know how to operate a Mute Button… 🙄
Though, greatly appreciate your helpful feedback, Sir!
