He sounds like a patient young man. Does your son ever ask for the trains to be lower?
Nice work on the installation!
He is a great kid! He has not asked for it to be lowered. He just lays on his bed looking up at it!

The DCS signal can be degraded by distance traveled and running into itself, hence the need for isolated blocks. It is on the center rail only. Barry's book describes the preferred wiring scheme. Like many things train, others do it differently with good results and others do not get good results.
This is exactly why I used four drops. In the previous house, I only had 2 isolated drops in a 9' by 10' room. It took almost no dust or dirt on the track to lose the DCS signal.
I was just thinking that at his age it is time to teach him the mechanical and electrical skills that you have.
