Model Railroad & Layout Electrical Wiring Tips & Techniques Part 2
About this Channel - My name is George, and I would like to welcome you to my O Scale Layout! I am a Model Train Enthusiast, Scale Modeler, Builder.
This channel is dedicated to sharing my fine scale layout, and Lionel O Gauge Trains with you. I designed & built this complex layout with the purpose of simultaneously running as many trains as possible as well as realistic train operations.
Fun Fact: I was part of the construction management team during the construction of a train platform, adjoining train tracks and switches in real life. I share this experience in one of my videos!
I enjoy operating the layout and making really cool train videos to share with you.
Please Subscribe to my channel to view all of the upcoming videos!
Excellent teaching video!
Thank you!
Thank you. Looked at a lot of videos on wiring and yours has been the easiest to understand. Please continue on. Mike
Hi mike, Glad that you enjoyed my wiring video! I really appreciate your comments thank you for subscribing and watching my channel! 👍
Very good institutional video about electrical wiring. Having electrical wiring knowledge does help a lot with regards to your wiring instructions. Thank you.
Your welcome Uncle Buck! Thank you for subscribing to my channel and for the kind comments as well. I really appreciate it!
You have a good understanding of ac systems and clearly explain things in layman's terms. Thank you and happy new year!
Thank you Kevin, I really appreciate it. Happy New Year to you as well!
Thanks for excellent presentation. Hopefully you continue giving examples of different ways to wire the layouts.
Your welcome! Yes, I certainly will make more wiring videos. Thank you for watching and subscribing, I really appreciate it!!
By the way my names George.
@@gstephengoss1 Ha! We have something in common 😎. Well, welcome to my channel George, it's a pleasure to meet you!
Best explanation I've seen. Awesome! Just getting in to O gauge so I just subscribed to your channel. Thanks
You're welcome! Thank you for subscribing and supporting my channel. You may also find Part 1 of the wiring video series on my channel informative as well if you have the time. Good luck with your layout!
Great work
Thank you very much, I really appreciate it!!
Well done friend!
Thank you for a excellent presentation
Your welcome Glen. Thank you for subscribing & watching my videos, I really appreciate it!
Excellent presentation, thank you. Could you seak to wiring a loop-to-loop crossover...to take a train from loop 1 block 1 to loop 2 block 1 smoothly. As in from the branch to the main without a stop, shifting from throttle 1 to throttle 2 without a serious "short circuit"...😊
Hi Tom, your welcome! Yes, I can make a video soon regarding the scenario you mentioned, no problem. Thank you for watching and for subscribing to my channel. I really appreciate it!

Hi George,
Great explanations as always. Can you tell me what version of ZW transformer you are using. I have a post war ZW 275W transformer (updated) that I want to use with my Lionel Legacy system.
Thank you
Thank you very much! Yes, I am using three transformers to operate my layout. There are two 275W Lionel ZW transformers, and one 620W Lionel ZW-L transformer. Your Lionel ZW 275W will work great with a legacy system to run the trains on your layout. Thank you for watching and subscribing, I really appreciate it!
@@trainwild Thank you for the feedback! I got everything connected over the weekend and I’m happy with the results. Keep up the great content! P.S. I grew up in Keansburg, NJ and had family in Kearny. My father worked E-Port when I was a kid for both CNJ and Conrail.
@@Conrail50 Your welcome my friend, I'm glad it worked out well for you. Yes I certainly will! That's great that your father worked for the railroads, especially Conrail. He must have some great stories and knowledge to share! I hope to get a Conrail engine sometime soon because the paint scheme looks great. Thanks again!
How do I know where the power needs to connected to the track?
Hi Connie, great question. What kind of track do you have? If you have Conventional Lionel Track, you will need a Lock On. This is a small clip style device that you connect both wires too, and it just clips on to the track. If you have Lionel Fastrack there are small clips on the bottom of the track where you can connect the wires too, they should slide ride on. If you have Atlas track, they sell pre-wired joint connectors that you can use to join the tracks together. For Gargrave's track and other brands I would think they have pre-made wired joint connectors as well. If you do not have pre-wired Joint connectors and you are making a permanent layout, you can solder the wire directly to the side of the track. Hope this helps!
I have the Kato ez track N scale. I’m making a simple layout, my first. Looking through various track plans, which are confusing it’s show wire connect in several places, this is what I don’t understand. You video makes sense to me I just don’t get why there are wires connected in different places on tracks. Thank you.
@@conniedlawson Your welcome. I looked up Kato N scale track and they sell Kato Terminal Unijoiners (Item number 24-818) With these you will have to connect the blue wire(s) to one of the tracks, and the white to the other. Blue wires on same rail, and white wires on the other rail. Make sure to keep blue and white on separate rails. Also, for a small layout all you need is one set of wires to run a train. The reason you see multiple wire connections on layouts is because the larger the layout is you will need multiple wire connections at different intervals to run trains effectively. Basically the power drops over longer lengths and will not be powerful enough to run trains. Thats why multiple connections on the track are spaced apart every few feet so as the train travels along the track, there is enough power close by to keep powering it. Also, when there are separate sidings or multiple tracks you can power them separately which requires multiple connections. But for a simple layout approximately 4' x 8' or smaller, one set of wires is enough to run one train. I describe this in greater detail in my first wiring video - "How to wire your model train layout Part 1" (Not sure if you watched this video also which may help). I hope this answers your question. Let me know! Good Luck and Happy Thanksgiving!
Thank you so much for taking the time to answer my question. I understand now and appreciate your help. I did watch your other video it made wiring clear. Happy Thanksgiving @@trainwild
If I have turnout #1 and turnout #2 connected on a separate power source from main #1 and #2. Do you insulate all four power rails on both turnouts?
Turnout # 1 & # 2 power rails AND both outside rails on each turnout have to be insulated from the main line #1 center lines and outside rails if you are going to use two separate power sources (Transformers). In other words, all rails on each turnout that connect to the main lines have to be insulated when using two separate power sources (Transformers) that are not in phase. Otherwise, you have to phase the transformers if you are just going to insulate the center rails where the main lines connect to the turnouts. I will make a separate video soon on how to properly phase multiple transformers. Hope this helps!
The two transformer are lionel and are in phase. So I assume that only the powered rails need to be insulated.
Thanks in advance.
@retired2009 goss Your welcome. Yes, that's correct. Since they are in phase, you only have to insulate the center rails. Good luck! 👍
