I want to put in a siding going into a train shed and not have that part of the track powered until I switch the train to come from that way. What I want to do is store two trains in the shed and then be able to pick which one I run
I have 17 full length trains parked in a double decker covered sealed shed with a turnout to each track.
Each track has an insulated joint just before the shed and a blade switch to send current to that track when needed.
So what ever train I want to pull out I through that switch and pull it out and go.
The rest of the trains sit idle until I through their switch and open their door.
Just my version.

Hi Bud,
Could you post some pictures of your double decker covered sealed shed.
Thanks,
Al
If all you want to do is switch the power to run each train when the switch is thrown, then you merely (he said) be sure your power lead is ahead of the switch. Then the switch points (or associated circuitry) will put power to the appropriate track. There are diagrams for this stuff in Garden RR, I’m sure.
