Reverse the green section, it need to be the same polarity as the approach track from the right.

Wooways me. Short - Do I rewire?
Posted by gdelmoro on Monday, October 30, 2017 10:59 AM

So today I decided to connect the track in the middle of the diagram (the one that comes off the main down to the ferry’s yard and reverse loop 1. Now I have a short.

Where the ferry yard cobnnects to the switch (bottom center of diagram) the connections to the separate buses are switched thereby linking a RED  feeder to a Black.

So if I GAP the ferry yard making it a separate section I guess I need to extend the Auto Reverser powered track through the switch. Remove the gap (bottom Center) and ADD 2 gaps. One between the switch and the mainline and one between the switch and the Ferry yard.

OR should I rewire the ferry yard so it matches the mainline?
