Re: Wiring problem
Charles,
I just checked on the w4dccqa groups.io site after logging in. The photos should be an option on the left side panel. When I click there, I see all the posted photos.

Re: New Turnouts
Are these the same as the ones in the older Kato HO turnouts? I know that some versions of those have jumpers to select power routing, or not.
Peace,

Re: Wiring problem
Hi!
Your Pic did not come through.
2 questions, did you put isolators at both ends of the reverser section?
Are they far enough apart?

Trying not to put insulated gaps on curves. and try to minimize rail joints on curves. if you need to add rail joints on curves first connect them as two straight sections then make the curve.
Look

Re: New Turnouts
I have added the new Kato Unifrog to my website. See at: http://www.wiringfordcc.com/switches_peco.htm
If anyone else knows of changes of other turnouts that electrically change a turnout, please

Re: Forgive my ignorance! Am I creating several reverse loops on my proposed layout?
Plus NMRA has a special interest group that plans layouts, you might look them up.

Hi Tom,

Re: Forgive my ignorance! Am I creating several reverse loops on my proposed layout?
It is much easier to see with your colorizing.
Someone suggested that you take this to the layout design group, and I agree that is a better place to get more opinions. But I would make a few comments

New Turnouts
Recent posts have had elaborate "recipes" for prepping various turnouts to make them more DCC friendly. Please be aware that some manufacturers have been doing the same. We may need to add time

Re: Forgive my ignorance! Am I creating several reverse loops on my proposed layout?
Tom,
Hopefully this is clearer. The main concern is that I have the yard approachable from both sides. Would that be considered a reverse loop even if I insulate the rail joiners at the switches and

I saw the image, but I couldn't follow it through the places where the tracks came close together. If you could reprint/rescan in a format that would be a little more clear in those areas, I am sure

Re: Forgive my ignorance! Am I creating several reverse loops on my proposed layout?
Hi Carl,
Thanks for your response. This is N Scale Kato Unitrack with #6 turnouts. I’d like to have a panel but I haven’t gotten to that point yet. The plan is to us the Digikeijs DR 5000 along
