Sorry for delayed response, and thanks for all the replies.? The compact layout is about 31.5" x 45". It is based on a suitcase plan in the old "Marklin Spass mit Mini-Club" book, but mine doesn't fold in half.? One loop has live catenary with a siding.? I wound up using 4 feeders, so they are about 2 feet apart.? I made two of the feeders myself from standard masts.? I also needed to solder up a couple custom length wire sections.? ?I've just finished the track and catenary feeder wiring hook-up below the layout and will do some testing.? But based on some resistance checks with a multi-meter around the catenary loop, the 4 feeders seem to be enough.? The track feeders are more numerous so that there is not more than about 2 rail joints between feeders.
