siding track

[Anonymous]

If i use two different power supplies one for the main line & one for the siding track do i still remove the center rail wire on the block section.? And will this cause conflict bettwen the two transformers when the engine passes the block. Everyone has been a big help & i thank you for that . Im new to the hobby And i rather ask than cause a disaster

The problem with doing that is that when a car or engine with 2 pickup rollers crosses the center insulated rail both transformers are connected together. You can over come this problem by using insulated rails,2 relays and having a transitional buffer center rail zone as long as the maximum train lenth. By this method the transformers will never be connected. They still must be properly phased.
