If you have good track joints, you may not any need drops. Only add them if you get some voltage drops or a train slows down. The Z-500 is a little weak, but you have it, so try it out. it's 48.5 feet of track.
Thanks Carl.
I hope the joints will be good. They will be brand new. I'm buying all the Atlas Track this weekend. That's why I'm trying to configure a "starter" to the full set so I don't have to spend $3000 at once.
Yeah on the Z500 I was looking at the Input. The Output is 18V 54W
I was wondering what you meant by "starting point".
"Starting Point" - A set of coordinates referencing a point on the table. If you begin assembly of the track at this point, the inner loop will be positioned on the table to allow the proper spacing and location to build the rest of the layout around it.
It is 108.25" from the left of table and 21.25" from the top. Place and 1-3/4" and the O72 curve (down and to the right, to the cross) center rails at this location and join them. Build the rest from there.
