UPDATE #2: Power Districts vs. Power Boosters - Do I have this right ?
Edit post

A couple of points:<br><br>First, allowing 0.6 A per engine is high, and might be more than you need. Each would have to be running, at a fairly high speed. Some overkill is good, though.<br><br>Second, do you ever plan a signalling system? If so, be careful where you have more than one power district in the signalled area. You can do it, but each group of detectors usually must be in a single district. Your design, for example, would require at least two groups (assuming no part of District 3 is signalled), even if one would otherwise suffice. <br>
