I was wondering about your plan to have the left and right sides of the loops as separate electrical blocks? In terms of operations for the boys (not to mention the possibility of "racing" Wink), would it be better to isolate the inner and outer track instead? That way one of them could orbit the outer loop while the other is occupied with switching on the inside/sidings.

Andrew
Thanks Andrew. The plan is a little hard to really understand because ALL of those feeders will be on a DPDT switch and their own block for either of two Tech 6 controllers fo working sound.
Thanks , Mike

Got it...I think. 35

Is that double cross-over insulated so that the inner and outer loops can be run separately? :?:

Here is the latest progress. The control panel is made and the location of the Tech 6's is determined and velcroed down. The 110 V switch is on and the power cord and receptical are on. I also got the other two LH turnouts and placed them. I have 4 more feeders to place and the remainder of the track can be screwed down.
