Well, any module that has electrical connections to the track will run them
back to the controller area in the module.  From there, a controller could be
removed and the wire just run to the other controller where multiple layouts

personally like to see our layouts get to the size that these issues become a
problem, but right now, I think it is fairly minimal.

(...) The GMLTC is planning on having two speed regulators for each track around our layout. We'll split the layout electrically, so we can have higher power on the uphill side, and lower power on the downhill side. We really have no idea how our (...)
