OK..... I am stopping right here for tonight..... My brains main circuit breaker just snapped off and I had to reset the breaker and reboot my brain..... I have to watch this video when I haven't been awake for 54 hours..... LOL Thanks again for blessing us with your knowledge. You have a knack for giving the info needed and not anything that isn't relevant which would just cloud the lesson your teaching... Thanks again and I would love to just hang out with a few "soda's" and just spend a few hours picking your brain. Great job Peace
I am loving your Glendale 65 series, John! Even the light background music you choose to run is as awesome as your detailed explanations. You're doing a great job teaching; thank for sharing yourself with all of us out here in TH-cam-Land. I'm very new to wiring, so in an upcoming video - perhaps when you get into the Roadway Lighting installation - would you mind giving a bit of a further explanation regarding the theory and purpose of a "Common Negative" in a wiring harness; which you mention on this video at the 4:14 on the video timeline. Thank you so very much.
The common negative is easy enough... The positive side (orange and brown) are controlled individually and all the cathode (the - side) from both channels are grouped together as one. This saves confusion when wiring and eliminates the need for a 4th wire. It also allows for control of both groups at once if I decide to add a switch in the common negative side. Actually, the "common negative" may turn out to be a "common positive" depending on how I decide to control the lighting... It's possible I will use transistors to "sink" current instead of "sourcing" the current.
John- Nice video. When you add episode #11, would you please add some close-up details using your voltage meter and how you were able to measure the power drops at various points on your track? I have never been able to see those slight differences. I run Scalextric digital, so not sure if the meter settings would be different. Thanks.
Hi there what power taps did you use? We’re they the Carrera slip in type And how did you fit them if not? Thanks for all the info. Stephen😎👍🇦🇺oh ok just spotted it will be in part 11!😂

Thank you for the kind words!!
Very smart and well thought out! Thank you Tesla, Edison & Westinghouse!

I will... The methods will be the same... Thanks!!!!
