NeO6874Well, the way I had it explained was that a "Power District" is the booster's domain, which then (potentially) gets broken up into smaller sub-divisions by fuses / circuit breakers.
No worries. I didn't mean to imply that you were incorrect. I have heard "power district" used to describe boosters or breakers many times over the years. There doesn't seem to be a standard usage of the term. I just wanted to help the OP understand the different reasons for segmenting the layout.
I have the right to remain silent. By posting here I have given up that right and accept that anything I say can and will be used as evidence to critique me.
Guess i should've been clearer, Randy - I don't plan on the tt to be motorized.

Not to worry about differences of opinion. I'm learning a bunch from this conversation. At least I now know the concept of applying the bus and what to consider. There are quite a few variables to consider, so I can understand why some would run the bus differently than others. Thanks for the discussion. It has really described the issues to think about before running a bus.
I've got 4 bars on my layout. There's Lucky's Bar, the bar in the Shamrock Hotel, Lady Buc's Clam Bar, and the Brass Rat by the waterfront.

I don't think he was looking for a new watering hole there, Mr. B.
Thanks carl425. That explains about everything I need to know about "districts" for now.
