How many feeders?

It depends on a lot of things. <br /> <br />Do you solder your joiners? If so, I'd say that the feeders should be no more than every 10 or 12 feet. On a 4X8 layout (loop) that's one on each long side of the layout. <br /> <br />If you don't solder your joiners, I'd use a feeder for at least every other track section. <br /> <br />If your yard is isolated, of course it'll need a feeder. <br /> <br />If your joiners are not soldered on your turnouts, you'll need a feeder on the first track section on each side of the turnout. <br /> <br />Mark in Utah
