Pete, I added a second drawing to your photo album showing where you could put double-insulated gaps. For the lower layout, (which is basically a loop), double-gap as shown by the four 'X's. For the

Hi, I'm new to using this forum. I have a DC layout that I want to convert to DCC so I'd like some help from the experts so I can do it right the first time. I added a pic to the photo section under
