Thanks gang. For completeness sake, I will be running DC right now, using my Bachmann Magnum power pack. The track plan is such that I do not need separate cabs or blocks. I only plan to run a single locomotive right now, and there are no reversing loops. The layout is only 8x4. I will, based on your experience, be using 16-gauge solid wire as my main power feed from the power pack, with 20-gauge feeders dropping down to it from the rails. I will be using the same feeder wire to connect my 4 switches to their corresponding DPDT's, and this will be powered by a 9v DC power supply. <br /> <br />Thanks Again, <br />Trevor
