Thanks for the input, Richie C. When you say crossover, do you mean linking the two ovals together with a switch at ground track level? Or do you mean using an X-shaped piece in one of the ovals?
I have Z-4000 transformer and it powers both tracks very well. How do you know when you need to do power drops and how do you do them?
I have a short pre-formed tunnel but once I finalize the layout I was going to try fabricating something more elaborate. I do have some buildings (including an old red and white Noma station), a crossing, a sign, and trees.
I need to take crash course in electrical with all the wiring and re-wiring! The track is pretty simple with just two wires but the sign has three wires and the crossing doesn’t seem to mesh well with the conventional setup-I don’t even have it hooked up right now! I have a few older metal crossing signs and gates too that I haven’t figured out to connect yet.
Don’t get me wrong-I am having a blast with my son piecing all of it together. There’s a lot of possibilities. Just gotta acquire some know-how - which is why I am here.
