Do I understand from your schematic that the only problem is reversing the polarity on the main line after the last car clears the turn-out (switch) into the reversing loop? If so, all you should need is a double-pole, double-throw, momentary contact toggle switch. As soon as the last car clears the "turn-out," throw the D.P.D.T. and then open the "turn-out" to the mainline and the polarity will be correct for the train's reentry unto the mainline. Any hobby shop dealer should know exactly what you need. It really isn't as bad as it sounds and it will save you from messing with the throttle on the power pack. If you are using manual turn-outs (switches), you could mount the D.P.D.T. switches on the board adjacent to them. It has been a long while since I used standard wiring, so please check with your local hobby shop before purchasing anything. Best of luck.
