Model Railroad Hobbyist | July 2015 | #65 DCC IMPULSES column Bruce Petrarca DCC Garden Wiring Tips ... This month I’m going to share the experiences I’ve had wiring my Rocky Mountain Pacific (RMP) garden layout (mrdccu.com/layouts/RMP). While I am using DCC, many of the issues dealt with here will affect any track-power layout in a garden and, to some extent, any DCC layout. There should be something for everybody in this column. I’m in the desert southwest of the US. Things that work or don’t work for me may or may not be part of whatever you are or need to be doing. Different climates and soil conditions can affect how one goes about garden railroading. I’m hoping that this column will trigger some discussion among folks who work in various cli- mates. Please share what works for you. Just click on the READER COMMENTS button above, or at the end. Long-term readers know that I don’t publish what I haven’t done. I’ve been suggesting ideas for garden railroaders, based on theory, since I owned Litchfield Station. Now I’ve gotten a chance to wire my own layout and can speak from personal experience. While the basic advice hasn’t materially changed, I now have some tips to share. XX DCC TIPS, TRICKS, AND TECHNIQUES MRHMAG.COM • TABLE OF CONTENTS • INDEX
