@Keith Crook 020419 posted:Make sure to isolate the track between the two power blocks. Fastrack has two pieces, 1 3/8” and 5” isolated block, that will separate the center rails. You don’t want to apply too much voltage to the track and damage your engines.
He will be adding power(watts), not voltage, in this parallel scheme. No need to isolate for these power levels.

Mitch is right - place each pack at distance on the layout to enhance power distribution.
