Ben, Eric, and David team up to work through the process for wiring trackwork on Model Railroader’s modular project, but the steps apply to just about any DCC layout. They’ll cover basic techniques for attaching feeder wires to the rails, fixing them to bus wires below the benchwork, and provide other helpful insights along the way!
Be sure to follow the exclusive In The Workshop series for tips, tricks, tools, and clever insights, as demonstrated by various members of Trains.com staff!

While you guys at Model Railroader use your $120.00 Scotchlok Crimping Tool, the rest of us POO Folk use our old, used, crusty, Channel Lock Plyers to crimp our Scotchlok Suit Case Connectors to make joints between the Bus and Feeders. You know, maybe even soldering the connections might be a far better/cheaper solution than the cost of a Scotchlok Crimping Plyers!!! Why do you Model Railroader writer/employees always go the expensive route?
