Hi Everyone,
Can someone tell me if there is a standard way of wiring the track up for a model railway.
I know this seems like a daft question but is there a side of the track that is always minus and the other plus!!

If there is then which side is minus and plus when you are looking at the track in a horizontal axis.

I hope this question wasn't too dumb but I have always wondered.

Many thanks

Kind regards

Paul

Thankyou all for taking the time to answer I think now that I have the idea!! Just keep everything the same on each track side!!!

Many thanks again

Kind regards

Paul

with their back to the front of the locomotive.

Thanks Sol I have now got the idea. Basically as you look at the track in front of you it is the RIGHT hand side that will be positive.

John I have always dreamed of being 1/76th scale just so I could ride in my lovely express engines

Nikki and Andy many thanks for your input also it is very much appreciated.

Kind regards
