1. I am trying to learn how to properly wire a brand new 3'x6' N scale layout for DCC. I am just learning the electrical terms like "main bus" and what it means.
2. I have used the NEC Pro Cab on an N scale layout a couple of years ago by simply wiring it directly to the track. This time around, I want to do it correctly and get slightly more complicated.
3. I have yet to settle on a layout to fit my space. I am leaning to a WWII period staging area for tanks and such.
I would like to know a couple of things before I go any further:
A. I'd like to operate my turnouts, frogs? electrically through the NEC system if possible. If it is possible, how would I do it. Where would I go to get the information?
B. If I want to add lighting, crossings, etc., will I need a separate transformer? or can the NEC handle this too?
THanks so much for your time and suggestions.
