Locating Wiring Problems

Peter from the UK sent in these tips:

When wiring your layout remember to mark and to code the various wires wherever they terminate. It is very frustrating to have to crawl under the benchwork on your back under to try to locate and retrace a particular wire to solve a problem. I also makes sense to split the layout into several electrical sections. This helps to isolate areas making it easier to track down problems. Keep your wiring separate for the different functions like track power from the turnout power and the lighting circuits.
