IM at the very beginning of building my first layout, (N-Scale) :-D
I would like my fellow modellers opinions on power to the track.
I have read that a feeder should be installed every 3-4 ft to maintain the corerct amount of power to the layout. I am going with a double oval with some industrial spurs, for a start. The table size is roughly 38" X 96"
connecting to a smaller oval about 30" x 60" . I plan on adding much more track to it, but this is a good start for me.
Thanks for your opinions !!
