In this video we're adding resistors to rolling stock wheels so that they can be detected by block occupancy current sensors.

This is really important if you plan on using automation tools which rely on accurately knowing if a block is free or not.

I put off adding resistors to my rolling stock wheels for ages because I thought it'd be hard work and I didn't want to risk damaging my models, but it's actually really easy and it's (almost) completely reversible.
