<p>Feeders and more feeders.</p><p>Enough is enough at some point. Im planning a feeder every other section so all track gets power multipule ways.</p><p>Rail joiners are never enough.</p><p>In the Hobby Shop we just finished each switch with up to 6 additional wires running off the Torquises so that each frog will be live etc.... We ran a train that was rather "Picky" and after following with a file and removing bad sections of rail, it ran flawlessly forwards and backwards. It would be years before we have electrical problems on that line.</p><p>I find it interesting that Modulars dont get thier fair share of feeders. There is ALOT of bus and feeders going on in EACH section.</p><p>If a day ever arrives that we set up track, attach two rails and all the joints weld into one leaving no gaps unless needed at specific spots then that will be a day copper prices will fall.</p><p>Until then, the availible wire stock is growing in advance of construction.</p>
