Ed and Joe, I have just designed a large layout (68 x 13) and the design allows for 3 train operation. I am getting into the design and implementation of benchwork and wiring. Plus, I would like to design a control panel for my layout, but I have 147 switches to monitor due to having a large railyard in the layout... What books and guides do you two recommend since wiring is a bit over my head. Keep in mind I also plan to use DCC for control of trains and such. Any fancy wiring terminology will go right over my head, so please keep it simple. LOL! Not that I am a dummy or anything-I am a computer technician/PC Repair specialist, but I honestly have no clue when it comes to wiring the track, lights, signals, switches, etc. The only bus terminology I know is in Networking computers. Hahaha. And what is a block, when you guys refer to "making blocks"? Thanks in advance... -Wolv33
