To get your model trains running, you need power. And usually to have power on a model railroad you need wiring. And that often means soldering. In model railroading, where there are so many aspects to the hobby, there are bound to be things you like and that you don’t like, things you’re good at and others you’re not so good at. For me, wiring, and more specifically soldering, fall into the “don’t like” and “not good at” categories.

But still, it needed to be done if I wanted to see trains running on my HO scale layout.

In this video I share my techniques for wiring a layout for DCC. While I'm no expert, if you've ever wondered how to perform these task, this video will cover what you need to know to get your layout running.

If you've ever wanted to get into model trains, or build a small switching layout but didn't know where to start, this series is for you, because it's all about how to build a small layout! There's a lot to think about when building a train layout, especially in a tight space, and we'll cover everything you need to know on how to build a small layout. This is the tenth(!) episode in the series on building a small HO scale layout.
