I'm still learning about where to gap, but here is your layout:

 

This should work for your wye.

I think you are saying the outside loop, loops back on itself.  I'm not sure that is visible in this photo.

Imgur photos in your album, have a BB link,either at the top right or the right of the picture (depending on what view of your pics you are in)  Copy the BB link and post it directly with control V, do not use the photo icon.

Wye and Loop Gaps for Reversing on DCC
Posted by Future4oo0 on Tuesday, November 13, 2018 3:49 PM

Hello all! 

I am nearly ready to wire but I am still a bit confused on the reversing section wiring and gaps for DCC. Images are at the link below. For the WYE where should I gap and where do I place the AR1?

For the reverse loops since the outside loop does back on itself where do I gap? Also AR1’s

Thank you!
