wiring my 80 foot loop of oscale

[Anonymous]

my understanding of Lionel track is that it can have poor power continuity . As Ian says the size of the layout is not relevant to power supply . Personally I would run as heavy a gauge of cable as is reasonable and feed the track at 2 or more points , obviously making sure of polarity matching , this will keep a constant power level and prevent volt drop.As far as power supply is concerned bigger is generally better within reason.

I am not familiar with Lionel stuff at all so i cant comment too much about the wiring but the size of your layout has nothing to do with the size of the power supply and check if you need a power supply or just a transformer. look at the power usage of your locos first that willtellyou what sort of power supply you need
