Just an additional note on reversing loops. I have a short reversing section on my 4x8 layout. It is isolated from the main on both ends and has an MRC auto reverse module installed. Since it is a fairly short section of track, I have to be aware of the distance between my locomotive and lighted caboose when going thru. It doesn't matter what length train I pull through, as long as the locomotive clears the isolated section on one end before the lighted caboose enters the other. I use Kadee metal wheelsets that have plastic axles and all my trucks (so far) are delrin so they are all insulated when going thru the reverser. My MRC reverser is almost 2 years old and works flawlessly. I think it cost about $30 and is a simple 4 wire hook up. 2 wires to the main and 2 to the reverse section.
