Work has recommenced on the HO layout after a break of almost a year as work on the G Division ( Ringbalin Light Railway G Division: About the Railway (ringbalin-light-railway.blogspot.com) ) took precedent.
The daytime temperature outside makes working on the G Division difficult so the HO division has now become the focus of attention.
The main loop was completed and tested using a toy train DC controller with trains being successfully run.
All that is now required is the decoders for the locos.

The Capacitive Discharge Unit (CDU) used to change points remotely ( Ringbalin Light Railway HO Division: Point Control ) and an Auxiliary 12V Power Supply for accessories were mounted under the layout.

The next step was to install the DCC Bus, Interface and Controller.

The DCC Controller is an NCE "Power Cab" and it replaces a Toy Train DC controller used for initial wiring testing. |
