I agree with srrewysquirell if your yard tracks do not have insulaters in them any power on the layout with power thru the switchs to the yard dead end tracks.To my understanding a isulated frog will keep the wheels from shorting out as a car passes from one track to the other track. Power is...

I dont mean your track switchs,i mean your switch controls.As in my picture.

I think it depends on the amount of money you have to spend on electrical.I have a small door layout and I am using 2 Tech 2 power packs and mini toggle switchs for my power routeing and turnout controls.Wired and installed with 2 used power packs was under $90 dollers cdn. Here is my thread...

Am i looking for hydrocal or plaster at a building supply store?

I'm going to need a fair bit but will mix it up in only 1-2 cup plaster amounts at a time so i can work with it. I live in Edmonton Alberta.

What is a good ratio for hydrocol/plaster to water? The directions on the Woodlans Seanics tends to thicken with in minutes making it near inpossable to spread with a brush.I usally have to apply it with my hands which is very messy.

Yard Pic 3 This will be temporary until i replace the no.4 turnouts leading to the service building with 2 no.6's.And replace the buiding with a more modern facility as well.

Yard Picture 2 Also how can i add multiple images to a post.Trying to add with the size requirement is a pain.

Yard picture 1 Finally laid the yard track today.Now i need to wire the turnouts and power wires and then im all set

Excellent layout there,I hope my little door layout will have the same appeal and reaction with people as i progress into my scenary stage. Keep up with photos so I might be able to draw on some great work.

Update Just finished building and wiring my control panal today.Just have to wire the remainder of the turnouts and the yard track.Am making progress slowly.Its nice to be able to run 2 trains at once on a DC layout.

Overview of my N scale layout I finally got all the track layed except my yard line but that won't take to much time.Its basically a door layout shaped in a L. Its 7 feet long by 5 feet wide on the upper section.Due to space restrictions i'm using 4% grades both on the back straight section and...
