Thanks Joe, I had sort of pieced that together from some of the other posts, I ended up reading all 17 or 18 pages of the post yesterday. Electrically, this reduces the load across each of the individual taps, which is probably a good thing as well. It would certainly allow you to use even smaller tap wires from the bus to the track. Thanks for the reply, and for the clinic. I am just in the process of researching everything right now, my son and I have been running some off-the-shelf DC stuff on Bachman E-Z track, we've just been playing with it, but when I started reading about DCC I became intrigued, and am currently just soaking up everything I can before I decide on "how big" I want to go. Any suggestions on design software? I actually ended up drawing all the EZ-Track pieces to scale in Autocad so I could get some idea of what kind of layouts I could make on our piece of plywood in the garage. I quickly realized how limited I was in trying to do it in autocad, (not to mention the rediculous amount of time it took me just to draw the pieces) and have been checking out some of the packages available commercially. Any help would be appreciated. Mike
