To wire a controller to the track on a model railway, you will need to follow these simple steps :
Once all of the track is wired to the controller, you can test the power by turning on the controller and placing a locomotive on the track. If the locomotive moves, the wiring is successful.
If you are using a digital controller, you may also need to program the controller with the addresses of each locomotive on your layout. This will allow you to control the speed and direction of individual locomotives.
