do you plan on setting up any signal block's? if so give yourself about 15- 20 feet . Use a good 10guage wire like romex and then use feeders to the tracks 12 or 14 guage. works good for me :)

I am told that every 100' is adequate, but I attach about every 50'. No knowledge about Crest's power supply.
