Thank you, all, for the feedback on feeder wires. I have heard about DCC, but am not sure if it's necessary in my case. I am running an 80' loop, no switches or side tracks. It would seem I could run two trains on the loop and balance the speed by adding a car or two to the faster train to slow it down a bit. It worked 40 years ago. If I do choose DCC, will I need a special transformer? Will both engines need the control. Will it function by hand held remote, or the transformer? Approximately what will DCC add to the cost of a typical engine? Thank you / Jeff
