Hello. A question about grain of wheat bulbs. I have a small mining tunnel that would accept a grain of wheat bulb for interior lighting of the tunnel. Never have used these bulbs before; but know they will take a very small current. I want to hook them up to the Accessory terminal of my power pack and use, for the time being, a Atlas slide switch to turn the bulb on and off. I recognize that it would literally be on for just a second or for however long I hold the slide switch down, but that is really for testing purposes.

I've got several very nice diesels in which I would like to install sound.  I am aware of the MRC 1000 series, which I believe is no longer being offered, except on eBay.  My understanding of how they were produced is that they had a plug that was comprised of about five wires.  Since the module is wireless I don't understand why any more than two wires are necessary, each to pick up power from a shoe going to a wheel on a track.  I have assumed that in order to install one, then, you simply have to snip off the plug and find out which wires take the

Ok, wiring up some track. Feeder wires are 20 AWG and run about 10-12" where they connect with 14 AWG bus wire. When I wire up switches to turn on/off the block, I should continue the 14 AWG and heavy duty toggles switches? Now, when I run wires for the signaling (mostly LEDs indicating switch position) I think I can use thin 22 AWG (like telco) wire. This will be isolated from track power, just enough to drive the LEDs. Is this logical thinks or am I missing something?

When I was a member of the Abington Lines Model Railroad Club a LONG time ago, the member that was in charge of the wiring was an EE. As such we had very good documentation of where each and every wire went and what it did. He did this with a combination of a spreadsheet and software that produced a wiring schematic. I was wonfering if anybody does this and what software they use?
