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

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

George - How about a putting schematic in photos or files?

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. https://wiringfordcc.com/track_2.htm#reversing If this is what you

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.

George, I would like to have the schematic too. Thanks, Pete

Don Ironically, twenty years ago, we'd mostly all have twigged to this, because so many were running mixed DC and DCC locos.  Now, not so much. Blair

Well… I never thought of checking for DC loco control. Add using a track-track DC voltage reading as part of the diagnostics. The 78% setting for a DC output also explains why the DC track-booster

Mike, Or: just don't bother. Now that you know that it's only the voltage measurement that's off, and no other faults occur, there's no real need to care about this one way or the other. Wouter
