TonyWalsham,
Thanks for the reply. I could’nt have said it any better myself regarding the jumper wires.
At this time I am just getting started but at some point I will be looking into what would have to be done to run battery power and its related costs.
Thanks Again,
Ron

guysaab,
Thanks for the reply, I do agree that you need to run trains without drama and that is the reason I was asking about the JUMPER WIRES. One other note is I that think you mean “CONDUCTIVE PASTE”. If I remember correctly “DILECTRIC GREESE” is an insulator and NOT a conductor and this product is used in automotive ignition systems.
Thanks,
Ron

Hi Ron,
I’ve been following the discussion on the thread and Grrrr… I don’t solder. I make 22-24 gauge jumpers with 22-24 gauge spade lugs attached at each end. I insert the lugs on either side of the the rail joiners between the rails and the ties. The fit is tight enough to hold them and I’ve not melted anything. A plus for the method is siding with insulated joiners. Just pull out one end of the jumper and
the siding is electrically isolated. I’ve used the same method for the track feeder wires.
[:)]To date I’ve not had any problems[:)]

gdewey,
Thanks for the reply.
I think thats a GREAT IDEA, I wonder why I didn’t think of it. If I have problems I will have to try your method and the best part of it all is that you don’t melt anything.
Thanks again,
Ron
