Reversing switch

Be that as it may, I don't worry about you not being sure!

All I would recommend is: Work your way through the various manuals from the various DCC system manufacturers, then come back and tell me where I'm wrong.
BTW I could have written NCE instead of ZIMO, the premise wouldn't change!

I am not so sure you are right HJ.

If that is what you want, come back to me on the forum and I will answer any question you may have!

Ian,

The man asked for a "reversing loop" schematic, since he would like to automate it. That's what one does with the sensors.
The man also mentioned his power supply and control, which indicates DC running.

In German there is a saying: "Wer lesen kann ist im Vorteil" (Those who can read have the advantage!).

As for the "back and forth" traffic, did you know that every ZIMO central unit (world's leading DCC technology since 1980) has 2 (two) built-in circuits to set up two separate "to and fro" sections. No extras required! If one runs the rest of the layout on auto, these sections will be fully integrated and protected.

There is a HUGE difference between a top of the pyramid system like ZIMO and the ho-hum features of MTS!!

Would like to know if their is a module to dect the current in a loop so a train can come though it. I am useing a crest train engineer to run, and a bridgeworks power pack 15 amp. This loop would be ablock .

Hi there,

This should help http://home.cogeco.ca/~rpaisley4/LoopTC.html

You'll need to bump up the component sizes, so that they handle the higher Large Scale currents!
