Hi Brian,

I made no statement as to whether or not the bus could or couldn't be straight or crooked. What I did say was that the extreme ends of the bus and track should not be connected so as to form a loop. Best regards, Steve Steve Haas Snoqualmie, WA

In fact, (again technically), the track should be gapped at the far side of the layout either. You will undoubtedly hear from some folks who have looped the buses and haven't gapped the track that are operating without problems. While that is true for them, every layout is unique and different and it is best to do things the right way whenever possible as that is one less thing to fix when the layout does start acting up.
