[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by LeisurePursuits I'm a little confused. I'm new to DCC and I'm in the process of building my first layout. Why would you gap the rails? I understand using gaps in reversing loops and such, but is there some other reason that I have overlooked? If so, it's not too late as I am just now starting to lay track. [/quote] You gap both rails so you can create power districts with individual boosters or circuit breakers or even toggle switches to turn them off for trouble shooting. It really depends of how big the layout will be and/or how many trains you plan to run at one time. Always best to plan ahead.
