Reverse Loop, Where do I put DCC unit
Posted by chustace on Monday, December 15, 2014 8:06 PM

All:

I have two reverse loops in my layout, but i am not sure were to put the DCC auto reversing unit.  See attached diagram of my layout.  I am worried more about the top section than the bottom at the moment.  The bottom is stage two of the layout and I won't start that until end of next year sometime.

Any help or suggestions would be apprecated.

THX!

In the upper section, Block 13 would be where you would attach the reverser module. Block 28 would be the bottom one.

The reverse loop at the top, block 13 is just a straight reversing track.

The bottom part is the real problem since you have a reverse loop inside a reverse loop.
