You will receive a suggested layout similar to the one below indicating the number and location of required Isolated Segments, BitSwitch Products and Track Contacts This layout requires 1 Station, 1 Spur and 4 Block BitSwitches and has 8 isolator gaps and 13 track contacts.  It will operate 2 to 6 trains in the Automatic Mode but would be most interesting if limited to 4 trains.
