G'day Justin, In reference to your problems with electricity, soldering in one or two more power feeds along the length of the layout will be a lot more effective and be just as much work as moving the existing power feed. If you have live frog points it may get a little tricky, but I leave that to those with more experience than I in that regard. It also reduces any problems with voltage drop over any significant distances. From my reading about DCC, multiple power feeds are recommended for that also to make sure that a clear signal gets through.
