Ok guys, here a couple of additional questions for you. Thanks, by the way for your input, it is very helpful. When you run a standard DC loco on a standard DC setup and you want the look of a lead loco and say 3 others hooked together so you have 4 locos heading up your train, the lead is powered and the rest are non-powered or "dummies". What happens in DCC? Is this still the same or can you hook up 4 powered locos together all with encoders and they work "together" so to speak? The next question deals with what you referenced Nigel in regards to the BUS. I was under the impression that a BUS line comes off the main Zephyr unit and runs under your layout and that "feeders" connect from the track to the BUS at various points around the layout. Is this correct? I've read that the BUS can be made with 14 gauge wire and the feeders 18 gauge. If this is correct then I could run a separate line under my layout to wire up my switches and power lights in my structures correct? Does the Zephyr provide power terminals for switch hook ups? Thanks again if you could answer these questions. I've read nothing but positive about the Zephyr. Thanks Ross
