Wiring and Track

Well the helix track has been relaid with an extra track in the middle to turn or store trains as well as the lower staging and wiring done as well. Nothing gives you more satisfaction as when you wire up the control and it all runs with no bugs, first time.
 
Another thing I saw on the net and helped me alot was placing a bit of tape on one side of a wagon to keep an eye on the polarity of the tracks and as predicted through many badly drawn track plans the only change in polarity is the reversing loop in the middle of the helix.
 
 Not pretty but easy to repair or resolder just need to add some fall protection to the staging area.
