Hi guys, <br /> <br />The best way is to have bonded track so your electrical continuity is through that rather than having a cable laid under the track with connections evry 10' or so. If you are using LGB then the bond can be either wire soldered accross the joint or physical clamp. If it's Aristo then I find the built in screw clamp is great. This means you only need one point of connection from the controller which helps if you start isolating blocks, ie run arounds. It also keeps it nice and simple if you get a stretch of track where the loco stalls, you will be looking for a bad rail joint rather than digging around for a broken cable joint. Main thing is, enjoy what you have. You can look at all the other options when you've got trains running. <br />Cheers, <br />Kim [#welcome] <br />[tup]
