Resistor Wheel Set Video

Here's a video showing how I install resistors on wheel sets so that each car can be detected by the computer controlled signaling system.

  2. Daryl, Awesome video. Looking to add detection on my modular layout so this method is just what I needed.

    Do you have the P/N for the conductive paint pen?

  4. Thanks for posting this video. I just did a few wheelsets recently using your same process, except that I use construction adhesive rather than super glue to attach the resistor to the axle. Unfortunately I have two wheelsets done and a zillion to go. :) Jamie

  5. Hey Daryl,

    Is there a particular type of super glue you're using?
