Thanks for the good advice.

I guess what i was trying to get at on the wiring was, do I need to have track feeds to both sides of the turnout? (i.e. feed to main and branch)?

since this is a switching layout, at the end of the lines do i need to do anything special?

I may be leaning more towards a "gumstump" (http://www.carendt.com/scrapbook/page38a/index.html )

This is my first post, so please be gentle.

I have been out of MR for about 15yrs, and now I am getting back in. I used to have a 4x8 layout in the garage growing up, DC large oval with sidings etc.... now I am older and married, so I am working on a shelf layout of sorts... actually closet layout 24"w x 72" L.
I found this website ( http://www.carendt.com/ ) and it got me hooked back in, that's when I decided that I could do a layout in a small space.

So I have all my HO stuff, been on ebay like crazy. Plenty of EZtrack, Eztrack switchs, and EzCommand DCC... now how the heck do I wire the bloody thing?

I have found lots of DCC primers on what it is and how to wire blocks and bus systems for large layouts, but nothing or even anything that I can relate to for a small switching layout. I am looking at something like and "inglenook" or "tymesaver" layout (http://www.carendt.com/scrapbook/page42/index.html )

SO without just connecting wires and see what will happen, since I don't want to damage my new DCC locos or catch the house on fire (wife said that one), i figured I would seek the advice of experts.
