Common rail wiring can be used on small layouts but do not be tempted to use the same method for medium to large DCC projects. A few key rules and recommendations for wiring a DCC layout: 1. Do not use common rail wiring. 1. Do not connect any of your booster outputs together as this can cause shorts to occur, or boosters fighting one another. Even worse, if one booster should flip phase b..See more on dccwiki

Model Railroad Wiring
DCC model railroad wiring is considerably less labor-intensive with this method of train control since all tracks can be wired with feeders going into the same bus lines running under your layout, with the common, or negative, rail connecting to the common bus wire, and the positive rail connecting to the positive bus wire.
