Hello, <br /> <br />I am getting quite close to putting down track for an HO scale, DCC 13' x 30' around the room double track main line layout. I know I want to include a block signal system, but right now, I need to put my cash flow into things like track, switches, switch machines, etc. <br /> <br />My question is, what should I be doing at the track laying stage to make things easier when I add my signals down the road? If I isolate my mainline into blocks, can they still run off the same bus wire, or would that effect my block occupancy detectors? <br /> <br />I am still researching and trying to learn all I can about signals, but I am hoping to avoid any major mistakes and not be kicking myself down the road. <br /> <br />Thanks, <br />Mike
