We have a 3000 Sqft layout at the club with soldering only inside control panels, turnout motor pigtails and track drops. All buss wires connect to terminal strips between each table, with local power

Vessel make a stripper that will probably do what you want. It does not remove the insulation but if the insulation is compliant it will expose a

Carl $. At least in my case, stripping, wrapping, soldering costs me the $ of the solder - orders of magnitude less than even the cheapest suitcases. Besides, I already bought the solder

Hi Gang: Why strip the wires at all? You could use Insulation Displacement Connectors ( Suitcase Connectors ) or Insulation Displacement Screw Terminals:

Hi Greg, The wire stripper I show on my website at the link below will strip a wire in the middle of it. http://www.wiringfordcc.com/track_2.htm#a26 I use it to expose wire in the middle of a bus run.

Hi Greg: The wire strip I use is Klein tools 11061 wire stripper. I use it to strip solid and stranded wire. It works great on my layout bus wires that are stranded #12 and #14 gauge wire. I solder

Greg, the style of wire stripper is exactly what you need. Simply do a Google search for wire strippers; they’re made by a number of manufacturers. Paul O In case the photo doesn’t come through,

I have a number of 'standard' wire strippers to do anything from 8 to 24 size. However, they are for stripping the end of wires. Are there wire strippers for taking out just a section of the sheath

Hi Allan, My original question was about the Peco crossing as it relates to a shorting problem while using my NCE system. I'm sorry it morphed into a hijacking of your forum, but I had thought I'd

Thank you Allan for moving this along.. JFE

Yesterday I discovered a problem with some of my NEW Peco crossovers. Four of my new Pecos had problems,...2 had plastic joiners in a few of the tracks had 'dips' in them, and 2 of them had little tip

Hi Dan: I only have one loco that causes a short when running over the Peco crossing. As I stated earlier I used OP SW 18 set to C to solve my problem...on a DCS51. Geoff Clarke

Take the time to review my original post, Brian...They are all new locos and they are in gauge. My NMRA Guage works quite well. Also, PECO acknowledged the problem. dan

Extending the short circuit time on my DCS51 still solved MY problem. OP switch 18 to C. Geoff Clarke On

How can this possibly be a manufacturing fault? If your wheels are out of gauge, then what else can you expect? I suggest you invest in an accurate back to back gauge. (And has

I had a whole bunch of these crossings from Peco, and discovered a manufacturing defect in them that readily allowed them to short out when using wheels of bit to wide. It occurred on about half of my

Hi Jerry: I am building a large layout and have not had any problems with walthers passenger cars with lights (UP), going through blocks that are protected with NCE EB1 breakers. I never seen a
