Basic Wiring

I myself use DC with a control panel over DCC. I run no more than 2 trains at a time on my 6 x 10 laayout. Personally I find the wiring phase pretty relaxing and challanging, though most of the time it is not difficult (once you get started). I am now installing block signals using the current existing block DPDT shwtches on my panel. If you don't have a lot of trains running at once, I see no problem going with DC. I learned my wiring from Kalmbach's Wiring for your Model Railroad. The book is pretty detailed and you don't need to understand everything printed. Once you get the basic grasp of block wiring, the rest is pretty simple. <br /> <br />Have fun, <br /> <br />Joe
