The  Loop is in, I was able to run a complete loop from start thur the loop and back. I used two power packs with of them remaining constant ( the loop ) and the other direction changing only. so the track is in, most blocks are wired ( need more wire and switch's ) and my first expanshion point has been establisted.

Loop in the dirt.

some updated pictures latter today after the sun come's up

No I was watching for indications of a short 10%volts and 60-90% amps on my Bridgeworks 15Amp supply. The more I use that power supply the more I like it. It is worth the money my wife paid. Dave 

I must most vehemently agree! I too, love mine, the same as yours.

I tried to run to end of track last night and found my color coded wireing was not very well done I had all my feeders connected opp's maybe I should have checked the track sections when I put them down as in all the black feeder's on the inside NOT HALF AND HALF shore did ligth up my 15 amp power pack. So far I found 3 feeders wired wrong (30%) after track and yard dry up it's time fix-it.and maybe more Pictures.
