Fantastic masterclass in double slip wiring. Clear and logical explanation. Very much appreciated Mark.
Thank you, Glad it was helpful!
Hi Mark, Being of an age where working under the baseboard is nearly a ‘no no’ I have developed three ways of installing Seep motors from above. 1. I prep the wiring are you have so clearly illustrated. 2. I have made a jig to identify the fixing holes for the point motor above the baseboard. 3. I drill and csk clearance holes for 4BA csk screws. I ‘tap’ the holes in the motor base 4BA (The holes as purchased are the correct size for tapping). 4. Offer up the Seep motor from below and hold in place with a crock clip. 5. Fit the 4BA screws and retain with A pair of 4BA full nuts, lock-nutted together. Alternatively, I have also glued the screws into the csk holes thus creating a stud onto which the nuts are fitted. An other alternative is to super glue One (1) nut centrally over the fixing hole and ensure the csk screw can be accessed from above for long term access. This last method I use for points long term clear of any obstructions.
These methods work for me being a much more comfortable options for those wanting to avoid working from below the boards.
Happy Modelling T🚂
Thanks for the tips, I have just started a new layout and dicovered a jig from scenic 3D, it makes the job much easier.
One of the most comprehensive and easiest to follow tutorials I've seen about wiring and those devilsome double slips! Thanks Mark...
Thanks Mike, Glad it helped!
This is gold!
Superb video :) thank you so much!
Thank you BeardClipper Glad you enjoyed it!
At last I’ve been watching several people trying to explain how to do this and I must say your tutorial is the most understandable I’ve seen. I can do it now thanks
Thank you Lyndon Glad it helped!
Extremely informative presentation. As a result of watching, I am now confident to proceed with the installation of my Peco single slip.
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching.
You are very clear and concise in your videos. A joy to watch.
Thank you Dave, I try not to waffle to much lol.
Nice to see someone using good old paste flux. :)
I find its the best and easy to use.
Thanks mark really good informative video I'll be wiring mine properly tomorrow cheers kev
Thank you Kevin
Thank you! You've shown exactly what I've been trying understand with installing a peco double slip!
Thank you smokestream888 Glad it helped!
I want add my thanks to all the others here. This is great. I'm using SEEP point motors you have made it much easier for to install them.
Thank you for watching, I am glad you found it useful.
Well described and presented, Mark. Very steady hands! No JD's the night before!
Thank you Michael, more of a Jameson man myself. 😁
@@DonegalDadRail We visited the old Jameson distillery in Midleton lin November 2018. Bought a Jameson hip flask.
I have been there too, must be over 10 years ago now.
Hi mark just an update I've got my double slip wired in and working perfectly thanks again for the video showing me how kev
Good Job Kevin. Its good to hear my videos are helpful. Thanks for watching
Such a helpful video. Can't wait to see the LEDs wired in to the mimic panel. Cheers.
Thank you Dan. It will be a while before I do the LED's, lot of other stuff to do first.
Thank you.
Greetings from Germany 👋
You are welcome, hope it was helpful. Thanks for watching.
Great Video Mark , And Great Idea With The Plastic Block To Keep It In The Middle
Thank you David
Really helpful video, I have the daunting task of wiring up six double slips this morning.
Glad it helped, once you get one done you will be away.
@@DonegalDadRail only wish I could solder as well as you, I m very slow.😂😂
It comes with practice. Use flux it really makes a difference.
Another excellent video Mark. It'll be great once the panel is in place. Atb Andy
Thank you Andy, the panel will be awhile. Waiting for everything to open back up so I can get supplies.
Good Video, and could follow the wiring. was not that long obly a two biscit video, and one cup coffee lol. take care, stay safe, and have fun.
Thanks Carl. You must eat biscuits very slowly. 🤣
In your video where you installed a double switch point, how did you get the power from the outside rail to the inside rail for the engine to cross over from one loop to another with out changing controlers.
I am using DCC so the wiring is a bit simpler. If you are using DC then you will need a double pole switch to switch over the power. The peco double slip comes with instruction for this on the back.
Wow, wiring two rail track is a LOT more complicated than 3 rail!
It is when you interduce point motors and extra wiring for reliability.
Hi Mark. Did you remove the springs from each end of the double slip before installing the point motors
No I didn't remove the springs you usually only do that on slow action motors. I was using solenoid point motors.
hi this is the best video I have BUT it’s the last bit of wiring I am having trouble with. The droppers from the centre of the double slip - Do you split them so that they go into both switches or how does it work?
I am using DCC but points and slips being run off a separate DC supply through panel and CDU
Hi Tim the double slip I was using was an insulfrog version. So the droppers went on to the bus to supply the double slip power. Like you the motors are power via a CDU.
@@DonegalDadRail so where do the wires D and E go to?
@@timfellows8334 If you mean the droppers from the frogs they goto the switch on the point motors. What point motors are you using?
@@DonegalDadRail the kit I am using is gaugemaster prodigy but take power for points off a separate power source. PECO code 100 track, SEEP PM1. I have electro frog points but insulfrog slips. For the points, normal red & black droppers from the track which I put straight onto the switch on D and E and frog wire onto F and all works well. With the slips and two switches, not sure where the droppers from slip go to and where the red and black from switches F and E go?
@@timfellows8334 The droppers for power connect to the DCC supply. Connections on the seep PM1 A and B go to the switch C is the common for the switch, D and E connect to the DCC supply and F connects to the Frog.
Great video, keep them coming. I'm new to model rail and I'm practicing the electrics on a 4x2 board prior to getting my train room. Please, if I may ask, what size heat shrink do you use and where do you get it from, I'm only using 7/0.2 wire for my point motors, is the the size you are using ? In anticipation of your help cheers and regards.
Thank you Grant, yes I use the same size wire. This is the heat shrink I use. www.rapidonline.com/unistrand-1-6mm-x-1-2m-heat-shrink-sleeve-black-03-2340
I have some other sizes too for going over resistors.
@@DonegalDadRail Many thanks, now ordered :)
Stupid question really, but is this for dcc or dc
It can be for both, but this is for my DCC layout
@@DonegalDadRail ok thank you
If it has double slips or wheels it will give you trouble.
lol very true.
