Adding lockons around the J&J layout will improve operation because conductivity between the rail sections may be faulty at times. Just be sure your polarity is correct with each one you connect. Its a matter of discretion on how many lockouts you add to the track plan. One per track section would obviously be an overkill. If you continue to have power problems in a certain section, I would consider adding one there or trouble shoot and clean the sections track joiners. As far as turnouts, I'm not familiar with the MTH turnouts power routing ability. If you locomotive doesn't run on a siding, it will be necessary to add a lockon. The lockon can be wired directly from the power pack or from another lockout that is nearby. <br /> <br />Ken, D&J Railroad, Stafford, VA
