Re: Combining Multiple Power Bus Wires
If you intend to use a lot of locomotives with sound, you'll want to use PSX circuit breakers as they're solid state; I have four PM42 boards in operation, and I have to limit the number of locos in

Re: Combining Multiple Power Bus Wires
I agree with the PM42. My layout is split into 4 zones. Each zone is powered by a different output. One other thing that no one has mention and that is you need to have isolated rail joiners between

Re: Combining Multiple Power Bus Wires
I agree with the circuit breakers.? The ones I use automatically separate the buses as wires from the booster are daisy chained to the circuit breakers and each breaker has its own output to the bus.

Alan, My first suggestion would be to acquire (if you have not already done so) and install a multi-circuit DCC circuit breaker.? Yes, there will be a cost - paid one time.? A short circuit on the

Re: short length reverse section
As shown and you describe... once you get a train running clockwise toward the lower left loop on either track you cannot get the train to flow counter clockwise without backing up through the track
