Naturally i disagree with all of you, i have 200 metres of track and it is all connected with soldered rail joiners or hillman clamps and nothing else. I have no trouble with controlling my 8 locos with up to 8 on board functions and points (switches) and signals at any place in the track.   To even talk about block wiring indicates to me that actual working knowledge is in short supply  (i have put this as nicely as i can) unless you have a quite advanced layout to do with automation or train detection, as i will have soon, there is absolutely no poin; even then i willonly be using one rail for control the other will be, as is. I get about 24 .8 V in all parts of my layout and digital signals reach my locos at any point in the layout. The reason for this is that brass rails are an outstanding conductor of electricity and nothing you can supply in the way of wire will come anywhere near it. Not only for conuctivity but for lackof capacitive and inductive reactance (I am a retired electrical engineer) My main reason for going to DCC was to get away from block wiring. Rgds Ian
