Reply to "Power Recommendations"

1.) Track power: Use the 180W PH Bricks. They have plenty of power for multiple Legacy locos. You will need one brick/lock-on for each loop of track. You can use the MTH Terminal Block for either track or accessory power hook-ups. You could also forgo the Terminal Block and just use bus wiring. Basically, all you have to do is run a pair of wires under each loop of track and have power feeds to the track from the buses every 4-6 feet.

Why do you need a brick for each loop?  I certainly didn't do that with my layout!  If you're running command, you just need to allocate the bricks so that the tracks each brick feeds gets enough power for the anticipated running.  Truthfully, with his planned layout, I'd use two 180W bricks, that should be plenty.
