@GregK posted:My little 4x8 layout with 2 loops seems fine with only one track drop on each loop, but I’m still doing two on each loop just to be safe. Like the others said, just need feeders every so often. People also bend the center FasTrack pins to encourage better contact but you have a ton of track… I would think on a layout your size, 3-4 drops per loop would give you good coverage. But I’m no expert, just basing that on with the pros post here. 😊
Good call out on bending the pins. Every little bit helps, right? I had read that somewhere also. I definitely need more drops to the track for starters. How are you connecting wires to the track? Using the built-in terminals? Soldiering?
I just realized, the way my track plan is laid out, most of the straight sections on the loops are taken up by turnouts and crossovers. I don’t have many 10” straight sections with terminals to connect to. I’m gonna have to figure out a way how to attach power to curved sections, 5” straights or something else…
