"It's been a hell of a week under the baseboard sir"

Parkstone was originally wired for Analog, but decided to rip everything out and start again, Re-wire for DCC 

As Parkstone is my first soiree into DCC, What to use to connect one's wires to one's Bus ?

After years of using the old blue scotchlok things in the days of fitting a car with an actual radio, i seem to remember that they didn't always connect to said wire properly.

So i was looking round for something else, ok, same sort of thing but at least you have cut the odds done by 50%  

  

 You can get them here for about 10p each Note that the spade terminals are sold separately.
Also Rapid electronics do them and no doubt other places as well

All hooked up. blow me it all worked

Also, as it's now DCC all the section switches have gone, so apart from the five switches for the points there is no real need for a control panel anymore, so i have dispensed with that as well. It's something less to hook up at exhibition.

The point switches miraculously turned themselves into this  gorgeous little lever frame placed in the fiddle yard. It's not called a fiddle yard for nothing   

They need finishing off and wiring up but doggie needs a walk so that will have to wait for another thrilling episode of,
