texastrain posted:Interesting.... For years I have ran many "layout" setups, some temporary while changing design, with use of two PW ZWs wired to various blocks. All I have ever done for blocks is isolate the center rail with a fiber/plastic pin designed for that. Or, sometimes, simply left a gap between rails. Even as far back as the 80s on my Houston area layouts, this worked fine for years on a given layout. Never have I blown any bulbs, or experienced any electrical issues crossing isolated pins while traversing blocks. Maybe an occasional change in speed, but nothing detrimental. Interesting...…. to say the least.

Thank you Jesse for joining in - I recall your large layout - your experience is the input that Escher needs -
Have any thoughts on how the layout should be wired? Escher has not kept the inner loops in a way that they can be isolated. Another pair of switches for each loop would do that. Any ideas would help. Maybe a link to your layout photos.
Have you kept the transformers phased?
