Power-Loc track

[Anonymous]

Can power-loc track be wired to run more than 1 train? If so is there a diagram to help show this. Also will I ever be able to use DCC with this track. Any info will be appreciated.

If you plan to use common rail control (as shown in Easy Wiring for your Layout, available from Kalmbach Publishing), you can replace the metal rail joiners to isolate blocks with plastic insulator joiners. I glue small pieces of styrene with CA (cyanoacrylate) to the gap, then file the piece to match the shape of the rail. Then, it's a matter of soldering wires to those rails to power each block. When you convert to DCC, it's just a matter of having power to all sections of the layout. The only area of concern, like any DC layout is for reverse loops, turntables, wyes, etc. Rail is rail, no matter what kind of control system you have.
