Electrical Wiring and DCC

Paul has two N scale questions for readers.

“I just bought a Kato EMD SD40-2 diesel loco in N scale, and after bought a decoder for it as well so I can operate it with DCC. The decoder is a Digitrax DN163K1C, and the DCC system that I will use with it is the MRC Prodigy Advance Square. Do your readers think I’ll have any problems with the decoder working with the DCC system I have?”

Paul’s second question:

“I am still building my layout, I am trying to figure out how to wire up just a straight section of track to use to test the locos that I just bought. Since I live in Malta there is no hobby trains shop here and I just want to be able to test if everything is OK. I know I have to put two feeders one on each rail, but I don’t know if I need 4 feeders two on each end of the straight section of track.

Thank you for any help your readers may give me.”
