RR_Mel My layout is wired for Block Control and the block switches take care of track polarity.I operate my layout dual mode, DC or DCC and my DCC system works fine on my DC wiring. This is a section from my control panel of my turntable and roundhouse. The circles are for DPDT center off switches control the power (reversing) to the rails.Mel My Model Railroad http://melvineperry.blogspot.com/ Bakersfield, California I'm beginning to realize that aging is not for wimps.

Mel, as usual i really appreciate you replying to my dilema lol....Turns out i made a rookie mistake....After looking over my yard that is in the "Trial" stage i noticed that i had joined together 2 Peco Electrofrog turnouts by mistake....I had been using both Insulfrog as well as Electrofrogs and somehow overlooked that i had accidentally joined 2 of the electros together without gapping them....After isolating them i have no problems now. Now to learn how to actually program this turntable lol....Thanks again Sir!
Hello everyone, just curious....On the approach track leading to my turntable, should the feeder wires be the opposite of how the main line is wired or do i need an auto reverser? I attached the feeder wires the same as i have the rest of the track but when i powered on my DCC system i had a short. After disconnecting the feeder wires from the approach trach all is good except i have no track power to my approach track leading onto the turntable. Thanks!
