Perhaps I will have a go at it. The whole and only purpose of common-rail wiring was to simplify wiring, and to facilitate Cab Control...two cabs or more, with block wiring to provide for selective connection to the blocks.Reversing any one of the cabs ONLY reverses the polarity in the block[s] that cab is connected to AT THAT TIME, not "the whole railroad". <br />Common-rail simplifies wiring, but it would be pointless to have it at all, in any DC system, unless one also used cab control.I think Nigel,in pointing out that your statement was incorrect, was doing the thread originator a favor.The rudeness is yours. There is way too much advice tossed out in these forums that is misleading, even if meant with the best of intentions and assistance. <br />regards / Mike
