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.

Reverse loop wiring and operation

Posted by Anonymous on Saturday, February 10, 2007 1:57 PM

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!!!
