1- I'm getting to the point of putting the homasote on top of the plywood. There are many how-to videos but don't think I've seen anyone comment on how to handle smooth transitions between homasote pieces at the seams. Do I use Sheetrock tape to smooth the breaks or...?
2-I've read that I should wire all three legs of my turnouts (Atlas O). I have the Atlas O rail joiners that I'm likely not going to use for my track power drops as I'm running DCS and I believe these joiners only use 18 gauge wire (and my wire runs will vary from a few feet to like 20 feet). Do I just connect a set of rail joiners on each of the three legs and then splice them all together to connect to Terminal port or ...? Does anyone have any photos of what it should look like when properly wired (underside of turnout)?
3- Also regarding wiring turnouts, does it make any difference if I connect the non-center rail joiner to the inside or outside track?
4 - does anyone know how best to connect an RCS turnout to Alas O track? The Atlas connectors aren't really working out but maybe it's operator inexperience?
Thanks for your help.
Peter
