Hiya,

I always put a complete loop in under the board first ten ake spurs of it for my track connections. Make sure the loop is of thicker wire than the spurs tho!!! It alows the power to be the same all across the layout then. I also put loops in for all my lighting circuits ( i normally use a 6 volt and a 12v lighting circuit so my LED circuit is totally seperate to the Grain of wheat circuit. as for which side is plus or minus i always just mark one side as + or - and stick with that. Never seem to have had any problems so far..................................

Just to say - i didnt mention the fact that i only make dcc layouts, so if you wanted to do it analouge then thats all sections................... Then you should run the negative on a loop but the positive will have to go to switches for sections etc ................ There is a great book on model railway electronics - i cant remeber who wrote it but its got a blue cover.... will try and find out for you...........................
