@VJandP posted:Thanks, Steve. As it turns out, the conventional engines are DC powered and will have to have their own dedicated loop or sit on the shelf for now. I’ll wire some blocks on the test layout but primarily for sidings to park engines. For now I’ll skip the block and get the power continuity and turnouts straightened out. 👍🏼
You can use those 1 3/8 fitter sections to wire the blocks. Put them at the beginning of the siding, and remove the jumper. Then wire a hot with an on/off switch to a tab on the siding. Easy enough but can consume a lot of extra wire with runs to the control panel. Unless you just place the on/off switch right at the block.
