I would not make your track plan "simplistic" because you are afraid of electronics. You can't be any more "electronically challenged" than I am - trust me! What I did was go with a "sophisticated" track plan with the realization that when I am hooking up electronic goodies I know I am going to have some very insecure moments, and have trouble understanding what I need to do. <br /> <br />But I decided not to let that stop me; here's why. I shared an apartment with a friend of mine, he was afraid of cooking. Now to appreciate my friend - he never studied math, but received many scholarships because of his high IQ demonstrated in his mathematical abilities. He has a funny name - Bork. So I said to Bork: " Look if a 16 year old young girl can learn how to cook, you can. So lets cheat and use a cook book." Of course he eventually learned how to cook. <br /> <br />And I take that same recourse with electronics - if a 14 year old kid can figure out electronic stuff so can I. Now don't think I don't have my defeats. Today I went into an electronics store and asked the guy how I would daisy chain some of the connections together to go to my PM42 (Digitrax circuit breaker) and he gave me an explanation and even showed me an easier way to do it. I understood the word "the" in his conversation, after that my brain ceased to function. But I know as I struggle with these issues eventually a light bulb will go off, and I will again make progress.
