John B. Venator Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 I am building a Rosedawn Plantation, from scratch, for my Grand Niece. I am looking for a wiring diagram for this house. Anyone know where I could find one? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 Are you using tape wire or round wire? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sable Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 Please watch this to give you great ideas on how to properly use tapewire: https://www.dollhousestrainsandmore.com/pages/how-to-videos This method used a floor delivery system rather than a wall layout. It’s much easier to troubleshoot under a removable floor than behind wallpaper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1martinimomma Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 I have a Rosedawn, too. You will have to create your own wiring diagram, I don't think there is one already made. I am going to be using Creative Reproductions 2 to scale products to wire mine. Carl Sandberg is the owner and he is very helpful. I know he has wired a lot of houses, and he might have wired this one before. You may inquire with him if he would draw you out a diagram for a fee. I took his class at the Dallas show. He has a great wiring handbook you can buy. I plan to start wiring mine in a month or two. I have already wired 4 houses, so I feel like I can create my own wiring scheme. If you want to discuss this further you can personal message me. Here is link to his website. https://cr2s.com/store/ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But your advice is greatly appreciated. As this is my 1st build and I am simply using pictures of the Rosedawn to build it, I need all the help I can get!

I would prefer to use round wire as it looks simpler. However, I am a novice builder so feel free to correct me if I am wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1martinimomma Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 I bought mine. Someone posted on this forum they had one for sale in Houston and I bought it from them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PerkinsPixies Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 I have never wired before either, but just finished tape wiring using Creatve Reproductions 2 scale. I bought their kit that came with everything needed & watched the video that was noted by Sable. I watched it several times before starting. I was surprised by how fast it went. I was also pleasantly surprised that each connection worked when tested! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
