I will be using blocks & two controllers for my track so two trains can run. The track plan I have does not isolate any of the spurs from the main line. Should I isolate them or is there a reason I should not isolate them?

Thank you
 
The positive:
-can store a complete train or locomotive in them if isolated

The negative:
-having to add the additional wires and block slider switch thingees.

I prefer every siding to be isolated.

If you were using a power routing turnout (such as Peco's electrofrog), it automatically handles it for you.
 
I second the motion. I've found that blocking the spurs has allowed operations to be a lot more interesting. A short local can hole up on a spur and I do use some for parking locos.
