    All the better DCC systems have built in circuit breakers. My Lenz 100 syetem works instantaneously if a short circuit develops. The entire system shuts down.

    You don't need a circuit breaker in an auto reversing unit.

    Post your questions. If I can answer them I will.

    Bob,

    Although I didn't show them on the preliminary Electrical Plan, it will probably be necessary to allow for connection of more throttles to the throttle bus. Unless a lot of people have Digitrax UT4R type throttles.

    The question is how many people can reasonably be expected to operate a model railroad of this magnitude. I can foresee maybe as many as 4. Beyond that, I think that they would just get in each other’s way.

    I think 3-4 is the absolute limit.
