Hi all. i am trying to plan ahead here so i don't have the items I need to wire to check specs for myself. Hopefully your insight and advice can help me out. Here is my situation:
I like the lighted MP bumpers. I guess I just like shiny things, like most men. But these things are powered off the rails and common sense tells me that I will need all my juice from my Zephyr for my locomotives. I thought about putting insulating joiners on these bumpers and wiring them separately. At present, I ran 3 wires under my bench work. Two for the rails and one for accessories. But these bumpers would need two wires (one for each rail) so I would need to run a second accessories wire. Should I go this route? I also plan on have MP lighted structures and some lighted billboards, traffic lights, signals, etc. Do all these accessories require two wires to illuminate, or just one? And, since the bumpers run off the rails, they require DC power right? Do those other accessories require AC? Because that would be another issue...and more wires. Thanks.
