Reverse Loop problem
Good Morning,
I have a reverse loop (picture uploaded) that is not working correctly.
I am using a Digitrax PM42 with district 2 setup as a reversing loop.

Re: One reversing loop to support reversing in both directions off the mainline?
After seeing your sketch… that will work fine providing your proposed new AR section is long enough to support the whole train. Easiest add-on with minimal changes.
There are other ways…

Thanks for the reminder on the "hamburger" button. Thats the key to finding photos/files AND the help manual. I've stumbled on these in the past... maybe I'll remember next time. Now I've created

If you're on an android phone, the files and photos options are available through the "hamburger" button on the bottom right of the web page.
You're welcome.

I have no idea how you're accessing groups.io. Here's a link to the members manual for groups. Many moderators/owners don't know this exists.

Having back to back Y turnouts is what I think I am proposing... but I realized after updating my sketch it will not work because the X in the center is not long enough for a train.
I will post my

Re: One reversing loop to support reversing in both directions off the mainline?
The simplest way to connect such that both directions have a reversing loop is the old 'figure 8 with sidebars', with either back-to-back Y turnouts, or a crossing, in the center. The entire 'X' in

Jeremy, it’s difficult to see without a sketch or drawing . From your description I would expect it to require something resembling a wye to re-enter the turn-around loop from the opposite

The values George gave will work fine.
The bridge rectifier is about as low a rating as you can get, so it will be small and inexpensive.
The 270 Ohm resistor will limit the inrush current to about

Jeremy,
I think you are describing an oval with a diagonal reversing track. Go to my website and scroll down for a picture of this.

One reversing loop to support reversing in both directions off the mainline?
I am building a relatively simple O scale layout where I have a reversing loop within a circular mainline. It currently reverses trains in one direction using a PSX-AR in the reversing section.

Does anybody know what these are? I can't tell. I think they are, or have, a DCC application, but not sure.
