Randy, <br /> <br />By installing feeders every three feet even though you are able to run your trains over 30 feet without such feeders you are defeating one of the major joys of model railroading. Your so-called advanced planning means it is highly unlikely that you will have a dead section of track sometime in the future which will require you to determine the cause of the dead section and then installing feeders, but only after scratching away ballast, ruining foam scenery with the dropped soldering iron, breaking off a highly detailed sectin of a nearby structure and banging your head while fishing the wire out of the bottom of your layout. How can you in good faith break the rule of "there's never enough time to do it right the first time, but always enough time to do it again?" <br /> <br />Me thinks you might be a heretic. <br /> <br />LOL
