I agree with Gerfust in soldering the track but not the turnouts. You should use as many blocks as you can. I started with a power pack and switched to DCC and the blocks have come in handy for block detection and signalling which no doubt you will get into later. As for a power pack for accessories, it depends on the accessories. For example, I use Tortoise switch machines and use a surplus transformer that I had from one of many gadgets around the house that had a power supply. According to the manual for the switch machines, I can run 20 off one transformer. <br /> <br />Good Luck
