<P>Yes well i can only endorse what has been said about continuity and voltage levels. I have about 200 m or 660' of track and you can go anywhere on the layout and the difference in voltage is not discernable; as brass track is an excellent conductor of electricity.</P> <P> i run DCC and having maximum voltage on all parts of the track at all times brings good conductivity into an even more prominent position..</P> <P>As far as using the points (switches) to conduct electricity to certain blocks of the track; this is a well used and popular idea, which just switches one leg of the circuit to the required block section depending on which way the point is operated. </P> <P>I personally do not support this idea; for my preferred method of use, as it ruins the points internal conductivity.</P> <P>Rgds ian </P>
