WOW,like was said earlier don't do that,just remember you don't need a complex layout just some good track work,The forces that affect the prototype engine as it goes about its daily job affect the model in many ways also just in minature.If your turnout would happen to be at the beginning or end of a reverse loop you could find yourself with some polarity problems,not really a sound way to operate any engine let alone ones that normally cost 200.00+Since you are using atlas there remote switches can be wired very easy and the switch controllers can be grouped togeather and mounted so you only need one set of power leads from the transformer to power all of them togeather.I think you will find that if you operate your turnouts properly that you will also enjoy your BLI's and spend alot less time and shipping costs waiting for them to be returned from the factory.Again good luck,the advise given here is free as allways and is only as good as you decide it may be.Terry.
