Can I operate two separate loops w just one Base, one Brick and one Cab1?
If so, how would I hookup wiring? Each loop is about 45 feet in length.
Thanks for any assistance.

Yes, but all locos will have to be command equipped. Hook the brick to both tracks in parallel. Hook the base to the outside rail of both tracks.
For each loop being 45 feet in length, you also should add some extra feeder connections to the track, not just one hookup per loop. (probably at least 2-3 per loop, though some may suggest more, depends on how many track joints to some extent)

Not to complicated, in most cases all the common outside rails are connected on a layout. Command base connects to the commons. Back of an MTH Z 4000 all the black terminals (common) are connected together.
Thanks guys for your input.
Roy, I was hoping that it would be rather easy and simple.
Dave, I do have 2 feeders on the outside loop, will do the same for the inner loop.
Thanks Mike, that helps also as I'm not much of a Electrical guy,
