I'm at a bit of a loss as to where to start.
I've attached my track plan. The actual track is a little different but it's logically the same - I reshaped the loop on the right and moved the sidings inside the loop but all the connections are in the same places.
I'm still not sure if I'm going DCC right away. I definitely will at some point but there's a cost issue until I find work again. In fact, I won't be running any trains at all for a while but I want to add the feeders before I ballast the track.
I know I need to insulate some sections but where are the most efficient places to do that? Also, how do I do that? I assume that a small cut in the track is insufficient as a wheel can bridge the gap (?) Don't some locomotives pick up from multiple wheels? What happend when one is one side of the break and one is on the other?
Thanks,
