My first module - The BIG test

Thu, 2016-07-28 23:32 — steve888

So having completed the wiring of the module it was time for the Big Boy test.

I hooked up my Roco Z21 system, whipped out my iPhone, added a new loco and voila...it worked perfectly!

Even my 22" curve was ok.

Next I tried out the Intermountain BNSF ES44AC.

Then I carefully flipped the module up onto it's side and proceeded to start my first ever wiring.

Here is how it looks.
