Garfield Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 Some of you may be familiar with 'Everard Junction' on YouTube. For those of you who do not know, he's currently constructing a layout in his loft and is documenting the build on YouTube by posting a series of excellent tutorials as he goes. While he focuses on a UK theme, most of what he does is also applicable when building an Irish-outline layout. Highly recommended for beginners and seasoned modellers alike.

BabyGM Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 Does anyone know where he gets those yokes he uses to connect wires to the bus wire as he said a shop in one of the video's comments section but I couldn't find them on the site Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broithe Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 They look like 'Crimp Blade Splicers' - http://www.rapidonline.com/Cables-Connectors/Crimp-Blade-Splice-33-0190 - you might try a car accessory type place - maybe Halfords. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always better to solder your bus wires Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broithe Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 I don't recommend using these on DCC as they can cause resistance with some systems causing the system to trip. Always better to solder your bus wiresThere's always a risk with insulation piercing connections - soldering will always be better, though a bit more work. There seems little point making disconnection possible, unless it's necessary.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BosKonay Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 Another vote here for soldering, if you need the flexibility to be able to move / disconnect, then solder links to the bus and the track, and connect both with a choc block / terminal.
