[quote user="mfm37"] You need at least 4 more gaps in the rails on the outside of nthe crossing. The track running up and down in your drawing must have one rail positive and one negative for a train to run. They must also match across the crossing. Still no auto reverser is needed and it wouldn't fix the problem either. Martin Myers [/quote] Martin, I never had any intention to wire the crossing per the first drawing.  I was illustrating the problem I had (the entire crossing is metal), with no plastic parts in it at all.  My intention is to have all parts live at all times.  In order to do this my understanding was that I needed some sort of reversing circuit (or switch I guess would work as well).  I modified drawing to show where I think the AR connections should be.  Edit: Corrected draw to show correct wiring.  Martin Please explain why you think this will work with no AutoReverser/frog juicer, and why you dont think either of those items will make this work.  <img id="fullsizeMedia" style="width:904px;height:433.46px;margin-top:73.26px;" src="http://i1168.photobucket.com/albums/r486/BMMECNYC/Crossing%20wiring_zpssuwuri6d.png?t=1477765368" alt="With +/- corrected photo Crossing wiring_zpssuwuri6d.png" width="1000" height="479" />
