Model Railroading Knowledge
From time to time model railroaders submit questions for readers of this blog to answer. Below are two questions you might like to have a go at answering:
Model Railroad Question #1
“I am just starting out with o gauge trains. I would like to know how I can hook up barrier strips and jumpers for my 6×11 layout? How many CTC lock-ons would I need. I bought the 3- 8 screw and jumpers and barrier strips. Would your readers have a any information how I can hook the strips & jumpers to my lay out. I have no idea how to hook them up. Maybe a Diagram will be helpful.”
Model Railroad Question #2
“I don’t know very much about this hobby yet but I’m learning. I would like to know what kind of transformer can I use. I have two Lima trains and I am building the platform for it and some one offered me a Hornsby 12 Volt DC transformer with 16 volt AC output. Is this enough to run trains, changes, and lights all together? I will appreciate help from others in the hobby. Thank you.”
