A Bailey bridge consists of the following components:
| Component | Description | |-----------|-------------| | | Heavy-gauge stranded wire (2.5mm² / 14 AWG minimum for DCC; 1.5mm² / 16 AWG for DC). | | Module connectors | 4‑pole or 8‑pole circular connectors (e.g., Neutrik SpeakON, GX16 aviation plugs) or heavy-duty terminal blocks. | | Drop wires | Shorter, thinner wires (0.5mm² / 22 AWG) connecting bus to track. | | Bus terminators | Optional RC filters at ends of DCC bus to reduce reflections. | | Screw terminals / WAGO connectors | For attaching drops to the main bus inside each module. | bailey base bus
Transforming a base vehicle into a "bus" (tiny home) involves a systematic DIY process: A Bailey bridge consists of the following components:
On each module, label (near connectors): | | Bus terminators | Optional RC filters
