Hi Guys, lets start off with thank you all for the input! I love getting information from here! 

First to answer Leo's question, why would you want to power your switches/turnouts with a separate power source? Is there some advantage to doing this? Wouldn't your Z4K transformer be well suited and reliable for this situation?

Answer: Because if I did not misread the information I thought it said to power from the fixed output, so I ASUMED that meant both from the Z4000 and the TIU. If I am wrong please let me know! The second part of the answer is very easy for me to explain, Cause I suck at electrical and I don't know! I can read something 1000 times and still not get it, but show me a picture and I can figure it out most of the time! LOL

Richie, all my track will be MTH ScaleTrak, including switches. I have no idea what the requirements are but in the PDF for the switches it show coming from the right fixed port on a Z4000. I planned on using a terminal strip to power all the switches as you described.

RTR Thanks for the support of my choice of ScaleTrak, I know a lot of people don't like it, but that's ok, as you stated its my layout and most of all its my money! LOL

So to be honest to all your questions and suggestions I welcome them and I hope I answered at least most of them. But if I haven't please let me know!

P.S. Just to be honest I may just be all screwed up with this! LOL
