Reply to "Please help review my DCS TIU track plan (attached)"

John,

Thanks for your input.  My plan is to put toggle switches on every siding.  Other than that, I'm pleased to know that you agree this plan should work because I prefer to just use 1 TIU.  As I recall, when I met MTH at Train Fest, Dave (I think that was his name) said it was okay to use jumper wires on both transformers to stack power to a single TIU and power all loops as one and use the DCS remote to control the layout.  That seemed extreme, so I thought it might be better to run the 4 throttle handles of 2 Z4000s into the 4 channels of the TIU (2 fixed, 2 variable) for a cleaner distribution of power. That also would give me the option of actually using throttle handles instead of the remote to run those loops.
