Thanks guys. I think I'll stick with AC. <br /> <br />My concern was slowing a train down when throwing the switches, but the way I designed my layout it has two distinct "halves" which would lend themselves to one particular cab each. There is heavy switching on each half, so powering the turnouts on either half with its own cab power would be preferential-- the cab controlling the mainline train would not be drawing AC power while the switching train would be slow/stopped when throwing switches anyway. Hope that makes sense. Thanks again. <br />GF
