My layout is an oval about 4X7. Part of the oval is a staging area. Mine is developed so that 2-3 people can operate. One as the staging person and 1-2 doing operations. Since there will be more than one person operating, I elected to sub-divide my layout into 4 zone. The booster feeds a PM-42 to power the 4 zones. This is to keep from one operator accidentally shorting the track and shutting down the entire layout. Each zone has a run of 14 gauge wire running the entire length of the layout. Track in each zone is connected with 22 gauge wire via snap-on connectors.

How does one determine the ¡°length¡± of a layout when it is a oval? Total run of track (doubled for a 2 track main); or total linear distance from one end to the other? Are the terms ¡°small layout,¡± ¡°medium layout,¡± and ¡°large layout¡± defined? I am asking because I have a Power Cab and would like to know if I need a booster or two.? Mark Wescott?
