Gerry has a technical question for those who understand model train electrics and asks readers:

“The Internet book has been very helpful with our project … being first timers at this my wife an I have lots to learn. We have completed the train platform/table in an L shape 11 x 7 x 4
feet. We did that so we can access it from all sides. We have been working on buildings for the layout as we waited for the platform to dry etc.

I purchased a NCE Power Cab DCC controller and am now going to wire the layout. I think I understand the wiring from the Power Cab control panel to the wall and to the hand controller and the two wires to the track.

Here I have a question about the Power Bus that run around the whole track under the platform/table. Is this Power Bus a complete continuous Loop with a connection running to it from it from the control panel. I would think that I just can’t start the Power Bus at one point and run it around the platform without connecting it to where it started.”
