how often should i have power taps on fast track from my GW-180 transformer? A picture of what i built us below and can you run two trains at a time ? I have plenty of wire and the .110 spade terminals to make the taps i just need to figure out where and how often.

My dad would make hookups every 10'-12' on his Lionel layout.
With a GW-180, you could run two trains at once, carefully, but they would both have to be running the same direction at the same time. No independent control, and unless you wired on/off switches and have isolated blocks wired to that switch, you could not turn one off and on while running the other. On a typical setup, only the center rail needs to be isolated.
