Layout Construction - TMCC Question
Posted by Anonymous on Tuesday, January 29, 2008 6:52 AM

Planning my layout and not 100% certain how TMCC 'knows' about all the different tracks.

Here's the layout plan:


In this plan there are 13 distinct blocks. I take it I will need 13 distinct power sources so 4 ZWs? Or would it be wiser to run outter mainline off one source, the inner off another, the yard off one, the reversing loop off one and the grade off another for a total of 5? Keep in mind I want to be able to control trains conventionally on this layout as well.  But the real question is how does TMCC know about all the different blocks?
