<p><font size="4"><strong>I am new to this forum and also new to modeling but i have a question on wiring.I am modeling the Ohio Central Railroad in HO scale and have found a track plan in one of atlas books{Beginners Guide TO Model Railroading} PG 40-41 Have a track plan that i have built.I have all of the turnout's in place but now i have come to the point where i want to run 2 trains on this layout which my understanding you can do this.My question is about the wiring of the terminal track's that you need to do this.According to this track plan you have to block certain parts of the track and you have to add selector's to do this and i have gotten everything that i need to do this but i am not sure how to do this,i don't know if you have to run wires from both sets of screw's on the teminal tracks or do you need just one wire and also it say's that you have to run one wire to the common rail and when it get's to this i am lost.So if anyone out there has this book and can look at this plan and help me with this i would apprecatied.This is really a good track plan for me to start with if i can get some help with this problem of wiring.I am going to use plastic rail joiners because my sodering skill's are very bad so please if anyone has this book please help me.Thank you Starman</strong></font></p>
