ozman2009 Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 I think that Railsquid should be applauded for a creative use of materials. 1 Link to comment
railsquid Posted August 18, 2015 Author Share Posted August 18, 2015 I need to test the wiring on the layout side before I wire everything up to a control panel. I have limited experience with this kind of thing so taking it one step at a time. The red wires go to isolating sections. Link to comment
cteno4 Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 Squid, Remember the old mission impossible tv show? They made the wildest things possible with these! http://www.ebay.com/itm/5pcs-Double-ended-Test-Leads-Alligator-Crocodile-Roach-Clip-Jumper-Wire-TICA-/261903995875?hash=item3cfab1d3e3 Well worth have a dozen or so laying around when doing what you are doing!

railsquid Posted August 19, 2015 Author Share Posted August 19, 2015 'Fraid the only Mission Impossible I remember seeing involved Tom Cruise and the Channel Tunnel or something. Anyway, yes, good idea, will look out for some. It's been a loooong time since I've done this kind of thing... Link to comment

cteno4 Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 Tom cruise <> mission impossible Peter graves = mission impossible! Unfortunately YouTube only has a few of the early ones with Steven hill (good but not as good as classic Peter gravest!) Barney,mthe tech guy was always rigging little metal electronic boxes into stuff with alligator test leads to do something cool. So much more fun than the movies, especially when it was done 45 years ago! Cheers Jeff https://youtube.com/watch?v=RgZgCSsUE5c Link to comment
