Hobby friends, I am planning a small layout that has a double oval (inside 15" Rad. outside 18"rad.) that are connect at 2 locations (at the straight runs). Is that considered a reverse loop? I intend on using DCC. I was thinking of getting Bachmann's Digital Commander set $100-$120 (includes EZ Track, DCC and 2 engines) and buy more track (15", turnouts etc) as needed to build layout. Later, I can upgrade to Kato Uni-track (or flex) and /Digitrax-Zepher when I have more time money. Please no E-Z track bashing, I am convinced that Kato is better, and hand laid/flex is best, I just want to get back in the engine again. I have read a lot of posts and searched as best I could on DCC but couldn't answer this question. If I have the 2 loops connected in 2 places and I am using DCC, do I still need to use insulated joiners and separate power for each loop or will that controller handle it.
