Wiring,Dcc, loop

[jwmurrayjr]

Maybe this will help even though a crossover is not involved. The principal is the same.



Have fun,

Where do I wire the block and connect to the mainline?

[cacole]

The loop should be a separate power block powered from the auto reverser, and must be as long as the longest train that will be expected to ever enter it. This informaiton should have been included with the auto reverse module.

I have a layout with two main lines. They enter a Shinohara dcc friendly double (scissors) crossover. Looking down at the crossover from overhead, the top mainline enters the xover and exits into a loop that renters the crossover exiting at the bottom mainline. All equipment is Lenz.

Essentially I cannot figure out how to wire the auto reverser. Should I use two? Where do I gap? Should I power the loop from the decoder?

My thanks for any help in advance.
