Re: Small N Scale DCC Layout

Scott,

Since your tracks are not connected to each other, you have blocks. I suggest getting two terminal strips and running feeders to each track. 18ga wire (lamp cord) should be adequate for this.

Use one strip for each side of the polarity. You could also use half of an 8 or 10 position strip. That way you can separate a single track if needed.

You may want to have some protection in the main feed.

Ron,

Thanks for the reply. So do you think I should separate the tracks into different blocks with separate circuit protection or with such a small layout would you not bother and just protect the main bus feed?
