Booster B-3 English
5. Splitting your model railway layout
Split your model railway layout in several track sections electrically
isolating them from each other. Every section has to be supplied by a
booster of its’ own. In each section a maximum of three to five
locomotives should run at the same time. The following divisions are
useful:

station

engine sheds

the main lines (if necessary in several sections)

the branch lines (if necessary in several sections)
Make sure that section borders are not crossed too often.
Isolate the borders between the booster sections as follows:

With 2-rail systems: one rail. Be sure to isolate in all booster sections
on the same rail ("left" or "right"). In large confusing layouts it is
recommended to isolate both rails.

With 3-rail systems: the middle conductor.
