Jim,
I am using bare wires for the power buss because you can easily tie into it **anywhere** with the feeder drops. I am soldering the drops to the buss wires. Finding 14 ga bare wire is not easy now but I have found enough for me to get the job done. All I have to do is buy it! I hear what you are saying about the continuous power buss. I was just passing along what NCE told me directly about wiring practices for DCC. It is not your Grandpop's DC anymore & several generations away from DPS (Direct Pull String). The power buss should <<not be a continuous loop.>> That did surprise me. I am glad you have not had any problems. But you are probably not using a layout that is of the size where the gremlins start to happen because of long (50 feet+) power buss lengths. At my best figuring I am going to be right at a 100 feet circumference with 24' long straights and mid 50" radius turns. I will be just within limits as well.
