How To Make Resistor Wheels for N, OO & HO rolling stock, Ep3

Make you own resistor wheelsets for your N, OO & HO gauge model train railway rolling stock

In this episode from LLanford Park model railway, we show you how to make resistor wheelsets. Resistor wheelsets are needed if you use current sensing block detection on a DCC model railway and you want to be able to sense non powered freight or coach stock in a block.
In this episode we are using n gauge wheels but the same method will also work for OO and HO. On my N gauge model railway layout I am using DCC-Ex with JMRI running on a Raspberry Pi
