Wiring Block Signals On Train Signal System

Jerald has an HO layout and asks readers this question:

“How do I wire block siginals or what do I use from Radio Shack with ‘do it yourself’ hardware?”

Wire Accessories

Sam has an O scale layout and asks for your help with this:

“I want to wire some MTH operating accessories and houses which light up to an electrical source. What do I wire it to? How without DCS and TMCC? How do I make the operating accessories (without the iTAD) operate automatically? Can one of your readers please help?”

DCC Setup and DCC Operation

John has several questions on DCC setup and operation:

“I would like to know what I would need for DCC ie. what do I need to purchase, how difficult to fit , can I run two or more engines on same track, what amps would I need to run say seven engines?”
