I want to display a non-powered loco on a siding.
« on: October 22, 2017, 09:20:33 pm »
New member and new to model trains. 71 yrs and excited as a kid.

My small layout is wired to run one o guage loco at a time. I would like to display another loco or two on a siding, leaving them unpowered and inert while operating the main loco. I'm guessing I could insulate all three rails on the siding tracks. Am I correct?

Welcome to model trains, and this forum!

You just need to insulate the center rail.
