They make a [url="http://www.walthers.com/exec/productinfo/723-601"] automatic revesing unit[/url] and a [url="http://www.walthers.com/exec/productinfo/723-602"]automatic turnout control[/url]. I don't know anything about them like what it doesn't include or how to hook it up, but it comes with instructions. About $80 for both. (click on highlited word for link) [/quote Thank you for the link, but of course like you said the page leaves much info left out! Altho, in theory, a reverse unit should work for trolley lines as well as reverse loop automation, at least all it does is switch polarity, which is what you need to happen with a reverse loop. however, it probably is reed-magnet technology which means its old and not very reliable. I saw some optical system on Dallee.com that looks to be what i need, has 5 amp capacity. I havent looked at the price yet, but i do have to purchase the accessorie sensors separate, plus the expansion relay switch to do the switching. I am going to look at the prices right now and see what it will cost. I dont expect it to be cheap, because I am using regular DC analog power for my trains---the cheap stuff is for DCC systems. Anyone else who has automated DC reverse loops chime in on what you bought!
