    Blocks, common-rail wiring or not?

    Thanks , Tony with your proposal I have to increase the number of blocks. Other people tell me to keep the number of blocks at minimum. I still not sure what to do. PS: this is a single operator railroad. Paul

    Thanks, Paul. Here is the trackplan. The red dots are my suggested places to cut the rail to create the blocks. The dot with small spur in the yard will be the program track when I switch to DCC later. Now the question is cut both rails or only the + rail ? Paul

    Started building the GG&N : part 3

    Cork is glued down and bridges are in place. Now I have to start laying flextrack. It is a bit scary, this my second layout, but as my first layout was all Unitrack, I have never worked with flex. We will see what comes up. Paul
