**Hi Allan -
**Reading your fine book again....? I have about 170 feet of double track main line, NCE SB3 and two DB5s...
NCE likes the cases on these grounded together, I take that as meaning close to each other.
?That makes my power bus wires longer to the two outlying zones.... THX Bill*-*

John,

You should mount your boosters central to the district they power.? Ideally, you want the distance from the endpoint of each track bus to the booster to be 30 feet or less.? Mounting your second booster next to the first, uses up 25 of those 30 feet.
