Using a Switch To Turn Model Railroad Track Sections On/Off

DISCLAIMER: I am by no means an expert on this subject, I'm only demonstrating what I've learned thus far from my own research.

This is a very basic introduction into how you can use a switch to turn sections of model railroad track on and off. In this video I demonstrate inserting a Single Pole Single Throw (SPST) switch between the power source and the piece of railroad track to turn on and off. I hope this helps others who have no idea where to start investigating on how to accomplish this sort of wiring setup. Given all that, this is only a starting point, there's a lot more to learn in model railroad wiring, and I'll be the first to admin I'm still on that journey myself!
