![]() DO NOT ballast track until you have extensively run your trains over all track for at least 6 months to be sure all is solid. For all other (utility) minecart types, the optimal spacing of powered rails on a level track is to use 1 every 27 blocks for empty utility carts (1 powered. I do not prefer to glue down my ballast with pva as it turns into concrete and then if you need to move, you will destroy it and loose all your investment in the track work. Also, a putty knife under the roadbed nicely releases the roadbed, and both can be easily moved or recycled. The smear really grabs the nails, but are still easy to pull up if you need to adjust the track. And with all that I’ve read it’s very important with DCC to have a constant voltage throughout the layout. I’m modelling HO DCC and my layout is approximately 10 ft x 10 ft. I then use 1″ nails thru the members, down thru the smear and foam board to hold the track. Januat 12:36 am Not sure if you are modelling DC or DCC I’m relatively new to the hobby (i.e 2 years +/-). I then use foam board adhesive and run a smear over the track plan to hold down foam roadbed. In my own installation, I have 1 inch of foam board on 1/2 inch plywood. Preferably, I do not care to solder the track and no point to it if each section has a dropper. The idea of soldering joiners is a mixed opinion. In the above example, the preferable low-impedance path for any return current induced in the power plane is directly into ground on L2, not on L5. In my case that is flext track and each section is 39 inches. Intro/Explanation Shortest Distance Between Powered Rails Needed for Highest Speed Minecraft Blaze & Riot 32 subscribers Subscribe 11K views 3 years ago Y'all can decide how big you want. The normal way to provide a low impedance return path between any return current in the power layer and the ground plane is to place a decoupling/bypass capacitor between the power/ground planes. ![]() ![]() ![]() For a nearby plane layer, this happens whenever there is a changing electric potential between the line and the plane. I have been informed, for at least DCC, to run a dropper on every section of track. The answer is: capacitive coupling Remember, as was mentioned above, the return path is induced between a transmission line and any nearby conductor. ![]()
