[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by challenger3802 Splitting up a layout into power districts is a good idea, as shorts can be isolated or the layout can be used as a DC only layout, with the districts employed as switchable sections. On a large layout the number of transformers would increase, in proportion to how many boosters each was powering. A booster should be connected to each power district. [/quote] Splitting the layout into separate districts is highly recommended but it is not necessary to have a booster for each one. They can be wired to an electronic circuit breaker like the PS1-4 series from Tony's. I felt the 5A capability of my NCE system was enough so wired the reverse loops thru Tony's PS-revs and separated the rest into 4 districts wired thru 2 PS2s (actually a PS4 cut in half)
