Dan, <br />Put the power pack or DCC unit on a small shelf under the layout where it can be reached easily. Some people have used drawer slides to mount the power pack so it can be pulled out when you are operating the layout. Use Caboose Industries manual throws where they can be easily reached. Use under table where they are hard to reach and mount a small pushbutton control on the facia. <br /> <br />You can start without any blocks and cut gaps if you change your mind later. As I recall, this was a fairly simple loop with sidings and running 2 trains would be a problem. You could make the yard a separate block and keep a second engine there but you would have the issue of getting them switched around to run the second one.
