Eric I have a question for you. You use 4 bricks to power your layout. Each brick runs thru 4 separate channels of your DCS TIU and from there to different parts of your layout. I thought that each channel of the TIU had to run its own separate isolated track system. However, all of your track is connected thru switches. My question is... am I wrong about each channel running its own separate isolated track system? Thanks for your help in advance and have a great one! Bill

@byates59 Each channel does run it's own seperate isolated track section. The sections of the track are separated by insulating track pins that keep each section electrically isolated.
