Good Information, thanks!

As a first time user to MR forums, this is excellent info. All my purchasing has to be online and although I understand the concept of power districts, finding the exact equipment is sometimes difficult. Thanks.

Found information which is helpful me as my knowledge of wiring is very limited

This is exactly the information I’ve been looking for, very well explained. Thanks!

great article which greatly simplifies block wiring, thanks

I would use a double pole single throw track power switch to isolate both rails when making repairs. I would connect the green LED across the switched power leads to the rails to indicate when the track has power.

This is a great article very helpful for me!!
