<p>[quote user="richhotrain"]</p> <p>Here is what the PSX-AR manual has to say:</p> <p><strong>The length of the reversing section of track between the gaps should generally be longer than the longest train that will use the section of track.</strong></p> <p>Rich</p> <div style="clear:both;"> </div> <p>[/quote]</p> <p>Cut and pasted from further on in the PSX-AR manual</p> <p> </p> <p align="LEFT">If your train is longer than your reverse block and has metal wheels, you may need to cut additional gaps into the reverse section. Simply cut another set of gaps at both ends of the reverse sections inside of the original gaps. The distance between these gaps and the original gaps should be longer than the wheelbase of any metal truck. Note that one end of the reverse section will be aligned with normal polarity track power while the opposite or other end will have a polarity mis-match and require the reverser to act.</p> <p align="LEFT"> </p> <p align="LEFT"> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p>
