Joe, <br /> <br />I just spent the last 2 hours reading thru this topic and found many of the questions I had about dcc answered. But I still have one. Some place I read that the bus should be one long loop. On my layout I have done just this, I start from the command center (digitrax Empire Builder) with a 18 gauge wire to a terminal block and then run a 12 gauge thru the rest of the layout. When I get to the last one I ran a 12 gauge all the way back to the first terminal block with no breaks. Is this a good idea ?? I does work with no shorts. The power booster is on one side of the layout and its about 35-40' to the other end. <br /> <br />Thanks, <br /> <br />Josh <br />
