It's both a power issue and the fact they are back to back. This allows for the engineer to change ends for the return trip back to the home terminal.

You have to dig for it on the KatoUSA website. They have some different types of layout plans to choose from. We frequently get requests for Unitrack Track Plans, so we have put together this section to feature some plans. Our #20-901 track template is an excellent aid in track planning...
