DCC and reversing loops

I am just reentering the hobby and have decided that the quickest way to have a working layout is to build the Woodland Scenics, Grand Valley, "layout in a box" (or several boxes). With an eye to the future, I have decided to make several modifications to the track plan, one of which is a crossover that connects the outer loop to the inner loop thus creating a reversing loop. The Atlas customer service office says I should just buy a reversing module and install it by following directions. I guess I can take this step but I still don't understand how this will work. This isn't a simple reverse loop as explained in all of the literature. When my locomotive crosses the track gaps, the whole layout will change polarity if I understand how reversing modules are supposed to work. What will happen to any other locomotive operating elsewhere on the layout? <br /> <br />I'm sure I am not the first person to have this problem. Can someone help me? I would love to hear from you.
