This will be my first outdoor railroad and I was wondering how to wire it . The railroad will have about 350 feet of run in a around the backyard along the fence configuration. I will have one passing siding . I am going to use track power and have a Bridgewerks Magmun 15s power pack .I was hoping to use landscape lighting cord for power to the track. I think its 14 guage stranded .Can I use one wire from the power pack to one spot on the railroad or do I have to run the wire from the powerpack all the way around the railroad and "tee" off it every 10 feet or so? Also does anyone know if a tethered remote is available for this powerpack ? I was also thinking of isolating the power on the siding and hiding a toggle switch nearby to turn the siding off when parking a train on it. To me this would be easer than turning my USA engines over and turning the train off that way .Does anyone have any advice for me before I begin construction on my railroad . Thanks in advance for your help. Mike D.
