I took an HO chip and attached it to a 2x8 electric plate.
After an absolute brutal hatchet and soldering job, I started anew and actually
made a reasonable job of it.
Separated the 2x8 into 4 2x2 electric segments
1 input
1 variable speed output (for motors)
2 light outputs
It works well. You can attach the 2x8 brick at anyplace on the layout using the
track points.
Now that I have it, there are numerous applications around the layout--I'll have
to decide what to make next :)
