SVL Extension: Feeder Wires

It has been a while since I last posted an update. I have still been working on the extension here and there. I have now completed the feeder wires for all of the new trackwork. These are 20 guage solid wire that I solder to the web of the rail up top and solder to the bus wires underneath. Soldering to the web can be tricky so you have to work fast to avoid melting any ties. I make sure that I drop feeder wires at least every 3 feet or to each piece of rail if between turnouts. I maintain a color code system with the wires - red & black so I know exactly which wire is which as I solder them to the bus wires.





That's it for now. I will make sure the next update is not so long in coming.
