Practical use and compatibility

The catalog key JLI714 keeps those answers attached to the correct release.

For rolling stock, inspect road number, body style, trucks, wheels and couplers. For electronics, identify connector, current capacity, speaker or lighting needs. For structures and scenery, verify footprint, power and clearance.

For electronics, do not connect the item until the locomotive or accessory wiring is documented. For rolling stock, check free rolling, wheel gauge and coupler height. For structures, make a paper footprint before cutting scenery. Each approach tests the highest-risk compatibility point first.

The live page remains the source for current price and availability; the roster remains the source for what the layout already owns.
