-One way of wiring a model railway with fewer wires. It can be thought of like automobile wiring. In automobiles, the metal chassis is the common ground connection, returning all circuits back to a battery connection. In this case dozens of individual ground return wires from all over the automobile are not needed. In the case of a model railway, generally a heavy gauge wire can be run around the layout that most or all circuits can use as a common return path (usually ground/earth) for signals or power to an originating point.      \\ {{:glossary:crwfig3.gif}} \\ [[http://rail.felgall.com/crw.htm|http://rail.felgall.com/crw.htm]]+One way of wiring a model railway with fewer wires.
