In the literature I’ve read this is not mentioned.
I would run the ground at least the same size.

Unless you experienced slowing of the train as it got farther from the transformer, you wouldn’t have needed feeders at all. A layout that has a complete loop with no block gaps has a considerable advantage over other arrangements in that the farthest point is fed, through the track, from two directions. But, if feeders are called for, it is a good idea to use them for both sides of the circuit.
It’s better to refer to your outside rails as the “layout common” rather than “ground” unless you actually grounded it. And “bus” with “ss” means something other than you probably intend…
I agree , thanks soni.
Thanks soni fo the vocab and spelling lesson . I did not mean a kiss[buss] would be sufficient substitute for a “layout common bus”. I guess I better quit while I’m ahead.
I will follow your advice on the common bus.

Thanks Jim I agree. jfitz
Well Bob of course your right as usual but so many for so long have used hot and ground as terms refering to three rail track you have a long uphill battle getting people to change. I know at my age ya just can’t change me. [:D]
