I don't understand what you mean as far as common rail is concerned

I understand the need for feeders, but how many for what distance and what do you wire the feeders to, to provide current.  I want to make a small 3x6 layout running two trains.  Thx for your help.

I want to build a 3x6 n scale layout using bachmann ez track and the bachmann DCC system.  I just want to run two trains.  I am trying to find some good track plans and layout examples to get me started.  Thx.

I have no idea how I am going to keep my gear clean.  I am so new to this, my F-9 is in the box next to my chair.  I have never been involved in Model railroading, but have been reading model Railroader since I was 16 years old.  We are moving to a much bigger house with an insulated shed that appears to stay fairly dust free.  We will see I guess.  I can't wait to get started.  I love the Sante Fe diesel, so my wife bought me the set.

Right now I am just trying to figure out a layout of either 3x6 or 4x8.  I don't want to get to carried away, but I want to build something nice, but simple.

Funny, I live in West Texas, San Angelo

Wife bought me the n scale explorer set to get me started.  I really like the locomotive.  The only thing I am curious about is the power pack.  The loco doesn't start moving until the dial is at 35.  Is this normal?  Doesn't seem like a big deal, just curious.  It was fairly obvious the train set sat on the hobby lobby shelves for a long time.  I don't want to lube it if it isn't necessary.  I would be greatful for any advice.

I want to use foam isulation on top of plywood for my layout, so I can incorparate a river into the layout.  Is this a good idea?  How do you atatch the track?

Thx, Rob
