Wiring help
« on: October 28, 2015, 08:46:13 am »
To all,

I am setting up my trains for the grandkids.  My dad purchased these for me (?) in 1951 when I was two, Santa Fe 2343 & 2344 and a Santa Fe 623 switcher.  Want the kids and me to enjoy them.

Question:  I found a 4 x 8 layout on line, however no wiring diagram.  I did start a wiring diagram (attached) but you can see I am stuck on the inner loop and the placement of all the insulating pins.  I have a ZW transformer, eight 022 switches (will run fixed voltage via terminal block).   Want to run both trains (2343 outer & 623 inner loop) at the same time.

I need help on this, I know enough to be dangerous and am confused after reading a number of things off the web and hard copy.  Don't want to be a pain and I will pay for the help, can someone guide me in the right direction & who to talk to.

Thanks,
Stan
