Following is a layout we are currently putting together. I have a post from last night about the switches. What I forgot to ask about was the reverse loop wiring and operation.

How do I wire and operate this??

I assume given my kids skills with computers and gaming systems that no matter what is set up they will figue it out!!!! Thanks!!!

No special wiring needed for three rail track when you do reverse loops.

Wherever you go, twists, turns, loops; the Hot wire is still on the center rail and the Common can always be on either outside rail. None of the HO/ 2-rail polarity issues applicable to a reversing loop.
