<p>All,</p><p>Getting back into things after 20 years. Going HO, DCC in a 9x14 around-the-room type layout with a duckunder. Have 10 gauge for the bus, 20 gauge for the feeders. Using code 100 Atlas flextrack, and soldering every connector. Layout is a basic oval type, all on one plane (no hidden staging, helixes, etc) with spurs, a couple of small industrial areas, and a storage yard.</p><p>Question is do I need insulated sections and if so, how many? To insulate, does everyone just use the plastic rail joiners? Obviously need to solder feeders to each insulated section, just wondering how big each should be and if plastic is way to go.</p><p>Thanks in advance. </p>
