ttrigg:  Would you explaine how the switches are insulated, so that the spur line running off the switch is controled by a seperate power source.  What happens when a train on the spur line crosses the switch and enters the main line?  If you understand what I mean?  Here it is another way:Main line loop has two switches in it to allow trains to leave the line and enter a smaller secondary line with its own loop.  This inter loop has a spur running off of it that is a dead end line going nowhere.  It is used to pull trains off the loop and park.The spur is not connected to the main power supply.  It operates on its own independent power source. The siding switch is insulated so that when power is applied to the main line the spur is not affected.  The engine sitting on the siding remains idle.Now, what happens when you apply power to the spur so the "parked" engine can be pulled into the main line?  Will it transition smoothly accross the insulated switch and onto the main line with out stopping or reversing?  How does that work?   Hope I've made myself clear.  Many thanks.
