Power feeding on a oo gauge inglenook

[johna]

Hi I am building a oo gauge inglenook using two  electrfrog points . Can I just use two wires at the toe of the first set of points or do I need to add insulators and additional track feeds? Thanks

This is a good guide.

But for this simple layout, totally irrelevant!

 

Feed at the toe of the right point will supply power to all the routed paths without need for isolated fishplates. Turning the point to the other direction will isolate the following tracks.

I find the modifications recommended improve running on even the smallest layouts....particularly with short wheelbase locos
