Wiring your home track with UK club controller box
#7

This thread could be the start of a very useful track wiring resource.
I see club tracks wired differently and often , it's not clear why.

The big one i see is the interlinks between boarded track sections (tracks that have been laid on multiple large MDF boards) 
Different plugs used, often with obsolete plugs (no longer available) and using differrent wiring methods. 
Most tracks seem to suffer some continuity problems with voltage drop on some lanes or some track sections during the evening.

The big difference between 2 of the tracks I raced at (pre covid) is the handling of the negative rail. 
One track wires the  negative separately for each lane whereas on the other , all of the negatives for all of the lanes are strapped together. 

One track has brake choke controls at the plug in points, one not. 

When we get back to club racing, I'll start a thread and post some photos.
