Reply to "How do You Wire your Layout?"

Was starting to wonder if each main having it's own buss that was wired to it's own TIU channel might be a reasonable compromise. Just looking for opinions on how you all do it for reliability before I go much father. Thanks.

 

 

I think it may be. I know that having tooo many short blocks is not a good thing and you're better off with one long one. What's the best length is the question... I'm guessing  anywhere from 30 to 40 feet, Trouble is... every layout is different.We have about 7 scale miles of track with 4 tiu in super.  We used Barry's wiring suggestions with a few exceptions...  Actually when dcs first came out our  first big layout was  buss wired and worked reasonably well.

 

One way to to find out.. hook up a loop.
