Help! In my quest to finalize my electrical needs and start wiring the control area, it appears as I have some issues with AIU needs. The general electrical power is divided into 3 power districts. The main lines have five blocks each, which is extremely manageable with two AIU's However, add the spurs, 8 tracks for the roundhouse and probably 8 more for the yard and the total blocks to control with the AIU's goes up to 35 power blocks. Still doable until you add in the 21 switches that need to be controlled and I haven't counted the accessories. Besides purchasing two more AIU's is there another work around? I was also looking at local toggle switches for round house, yard and spur power blocks to be used in either the AIU or toggle switch would be in control. Right now the requirements are out of control. lol All suggestions are appreciated for sure!
