  • Tony P says:

    Hi Loren, You need a direct line or main line from your power source to the farthests side of your layout. This can be called a main bus line which is usually a larger gage wire and you can have additional smaller feed lines tap off of this with smaller gage wire. Of course if you segregate track for different operations of your locos you will need additional main bus lines. Tony P
