QUOTE (Screwneck @ 2 Apr 2012, 06:57) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>Unless you are over 80 feet of track then power cables will do nothing. If you have power drops then you need to find out which pieces of track are not fitting together properly.
I'm not quite in agreement with Screwneck, if you use power taps at every straight you will have perfect power. If you have power drops then yes you should sort the connectors but a power tap will bypass the bad joint and give you smooth power.
When I used to make 4 lane analogue tracks there were so many joints that I would never have got them all 100% so I would put power taps everywhere just to make the tracks as even as possible.
