Every Track Powered for DCC???

[Herc Driver]

Now that's some thinkin'...using the extra power packs that way. I'm getting the Zephyr in six days (birthday present from the wife and kids) and hope to be up and running later that day...which might be some really wishful thinking - depending on how well I've made my track connections route steady power throughout the layout. I'll probably wait to hook up the extra DC power pack as a Jump throttle, allowing me to make sure I've got any power problems that might crop up fixed before allowing another source of power to enter the rails via the Digitrax. I guess I'll just make one of my parking tracks as the programming track since it's only reached by one insulated turnout. Hopefully, I'll be able to program on that track, then throw the switch and allow that diesel access to the rest of the layout.

If I run into big problems, I'll give a hollar...thanks!
