building a staging deck

Overall, you have at least 9 Digitrax 168's; do you use a single 14 volt (amp) power supply since each 168 requires 100 milliamps or are there multiple ones?

There are two tortoise machines, but you also employ the DS64; please explain.

The 9 x Digitrax BDL168’s are associated with the upper deck detection system and are powered by their own 2A - 12V power supply.  Likewise the Tortoise Motors & Signals associated with the upper deck and connected to the Digitrax SE8’s are run on their own 2A - 12V power supply.

The lower deck staging power & detection is run from a single BDL168, the MP5 switch motors for the staging deck are run from the DS64’s all on their own power supplies.
