DCC Track Buss Length

I know its not recommended to loop the loconet cable on itself. I don't see why you would want or need to loop the power buss. You may want to look at dividing your track and buss up into a few sections or districts. Right now if you have a short (caused by derailment) your whole layout is going to shut down. If you operate by yourself this may not be a problem, but with multiple operators it is a pain. Power districts will help troubleshooting the system also. This is what I think Digitrax and others meant when they set limits on power buss length. <br /> Jeff "tweet" Kerr
