Chris, that's interesting, but are you talking about the actual wires
that power the trains or are we talking the control wires (Digitrax
calls theirs Loconet) to the throttles and remote plugs?
I can certainly understand not looping the Loconet cables,however if one
is running a circle of track regardless of the number of feeders, the
rail itself makes a loop.
