Thanks Adam.  (I can see how this might need to be a budget line item)  Is there a gang bus that you can plug/wire all the terminals into? or did you create something?

Jim, you nailed it.  The headlight does flicker as the loco hesitates over the rerailer.  I'll have to figure out how to raise the rails up a bit.  This is a used set that we just received and I've got a lot to learn.  What do you use to clean the rails.  ... and what do you think of the EZ Lube products for the maintenance needs of the train?

So about how many feeders per feet of track.  And how do you wire all of them into one power pack.

Adari, Packertrain, Thanks.
So if I read this correctly, using one power pack, run two seperate sets of wires to two evenly spaced terminal/rerailers.

We have HO, is there a limit to the length we can make the track loop?  We made an oval roughly 10' long.  Our locomotives would only move about 10 pieces of track away from the power source (in either direction) before they would just come to a stop.  What up wit dat?  And if this is reality...how do you professionals fill rooms with hundreds of feet of working rail line??  We have a Tech II controller.
My wife is looking at me like.."honey, if you can't get a model train to work, please don't ever work on the car!"

I'm new with this train stuff.  My kids were given a lot of HO items.  We layed out a simple oval and had no problems with an Athearn F7A Super Power locomotive.  However, the USRA 0-6-0 steam locomotive that came in a complete kit seemed to have power issues.  The 0-6-0 hesitated every time it passed over the terminal/rerailer.  The F7A passed right over it without any problem.  Anybody know why?
