Thanks guys, those were the answers I was hoping for.
loathar : no problem, sometimes a long answer is more helpful, thanks.
I have no other place where the two track ever come together, so I should be good.
We were just working on it this afternoon, and have come to the point on the build where the diamond needs to go, so your getting back to me so fast has really been helpful, and I look forward to getting back to it, tomorrow.

By a "diamond," do you mean a crossing track, where two lines cross each other at the same level?
If so, the answer is yes. The tracks should be electrically separated inside the crossing.
It takes an iron man to play with a toy iron horse.
Me and my dad are building a 20'x8' layout with twin DC controls, one a inner loop and the other an outer loop.
What I need to ask, is it possible to run one dc controlled line though a diamond that crosses the other dc controlled line, with out worring about the electrial power going though the diamond?
If not, is there a way to wire the diamond to allow this to happen?
Thank,
