Track Bus Feeders

Is it possible to splice 1 bus wire to several tracks around a layout OR should one bus wire be used to feed one run of track exclusively ?

James,

I run one bus, made of 14 (solid) gauge house wire, around the layout. Where there is more than one track, I run feeders from that one bus to all the tracks. The only reason that I run more than one bus is where I want some tracks in an area to be on one power district and some on another (each bus is for a separate power ddistrict).

Dale-

Thanks. That sounds like a good idea.
