Card board mock-up.

Typical wall construction - measure, scribe, snap and glue back together.

Wiring NCE EB-1 Circuit Breakers

I need help in a SIMPLE way to wire the EB-1 circuit breakers into my layout. I am using CVP system and currently have the layout split into 2 districts. I now want to split each district into 3 additional sub districts. I have the boards, looked at the instructions and am confused as how to wire them into the layout the instructions only show how to wire one board into the track, but what about the additional two.

A couple of my latest builds

Here are photos of a couple of my latest builds for the CNW Peninsula Div. The first set are of the "Feed Mill" at Watersmeet. I used the Walthers Columbia Feed Mill kit #933-3090, but I did completely repaint and weather it. I made my signs on the computer, as well as some decals from the kit. I don't like to use the business names as supplied by Walthers.

School House

MY LATEST BUILD - 

Since my wife is a retired educator, she wanted a school house on the layout. It will be added to the newest town of Watersmeet, MI to be built on my HO scale CNW Peninsula Div. railroad. The building is a kit bash using two DPM kits. The base kit is #106 Laube's Linen Mill. I will admit that it was not my original idea. I found the design article in the Model Railroad special publication "Modeling Railroads of the 1950's". The original building was to be a YMCA residence, but it looked like a good design for a 1950 schoolhouse.
