(...) If you put a loop on 60 feet table a suggest that you put your transformer about in the middle of the table and set 1 connection on boot side of the loop at that point (about 3-4 feet apart across the table), by doing so you cut the length of (...) (24 years ago, 7-Jan-01, to lugnet.trains)

(...) Or, just electrically isolate the two sections, so each transformer is powering its own section of track. The easiest way is to leave a 1 stud gap between two lengths of straight track, and use a 4x8 plate to tie (no pun intended!) the tracks (...) (24 years ago, 8-Jan-01, to lugnet.trains)

(...) Except for a brief moment as the train crosses the gap. If the power packs are set to close to the same level, there really shouldn't be any problem with having them electrically connected. They'll just equalize out the voltage, in part by (...) (24 years ago, 10-Jan-01, to lugnet.trains)
