So the electrics are pretty simple here but its still worth blogging about. I guess its an improvement on the how to drill a hole post. Anyway back to it, lets get on with it, so we have a stick with a length of track on it and a DCC bus to connect it into. The thing is removeable so our project needs to be removeable as well.
As I have said a hundred times due to our lockdown restrictions I am well down on materials and don’t have a spare power pole connector. ah! not a problem here is the poor mans solution. Take two male female hook up wires turn one around tape them together and you have a power pole connector. Lets look at how to do this.
A quick test
This really is a low profile solution the plank neatly fits below my layout on a small shelf that also holds some stock and the controller when not in use.
Thats it we have a working switching stick. Next up is the connection to the PC and some remote op sessions.

Gordy, these jumper wires are often referred to as “Dupont” Connectors. I assume they were originally made by the Dupont Company.
