Want to use Rheostats or resistor bridge to reduce voltage to certain blocks on layout

Since I run conventional on a three level layout I run two insulated blocks. One is on the lowest level track rising to the middle level . That block sees 16V and helps the long train climb. The other is on a downhill grade from the top level to the middle (table) level. To slow the train I use a two ohm power resistor to the insulated block middle rail power. It works well and it keeps things simple.
