Hi folks Im looking for some input....My father and I (both adults) are putting a garden together. we laid out a nice track with two turnouts (HO scale, life like power loc) when crossing the second turn out the track switches polarity due to where the tracks intersect each other. meaning the inside track falls across the outside track when it ties back in. we have isolated the track to prevent short circuits of course but we cant get the train to reassume the right direction of travel when it crosses polarities. wth all the modern technology I figured there was a relay or switch I could wire in to make it work. We will have to drop in a 3 turn out to allow the train to change direction again but for now this is where we are. any ideas picture enclosed...thanks in advance. <br /> <br /> <br /> [url][/url]http://groups.msn.com/WoodstockHOTrains/hoingsstartintotrains.msnw <br /> <br /> <br />this link should take you to the msn train site where my pics are posted
