Grandpa51, <br />I am a rookie at Garden Railways, but would be happy to pass on what I've gathered from St. Aubin's, electrical contractors, and other GR enthusiasts. My original bus idea would work, but Bridgewerks transformers recommend using underground stranded 10 gauge for track distances over 99' (as I recall or was told). As you read this thread you can see where my plans kept changing. Again, I am no authority, but there are so many approaches people have had success with. I am trying to decipher which ideas will give me a durable, dependable, and economical outcome for my climate zone. I was told that the split jaws with graphite grease would eliminate the need for the bus/feeder approach. Just supply a feeder at both mid points per loop. Some folks have claimed success with only one power feed with over 100' of track using clamps and graphite grease! I am near completion, and I can only hope that the two feeds mid way will supply consistent track power. My initial gut plan was total overkill, complete with unnecessary PVC wiring conduit. Hope this helps, and hope the experienced guys/gals can shed further light. Good Luck, I'll keep you posted how she turns out! <br /> <br />Rich <br />
