Hi,
I started laying my track a few days ago and all is going well. I decided on H0 and my layout has three sections;
4 * 8 4 * 5 1.5 * 7 connecting the two above sections. It looks something like the following, where the connecting span is flush to one side.||||||||_______|||||
The larger section will be industrial with a turntable in the middle. The smaller section will be a small town.
Currently, I have two main belts that go across the sections that make best use of the space as to allow for long trains. I have switches that connect the rails at various places, especially in the straight,
7 foot connecting span. I plan on laying one more inner section to function as a reversing loop. Possibly a double loop, like a dumbel if I can fit it around the turntable, otherwise something more like a lollipop.My question: I have the automatic reversing mechanism for the polarity, can I also automatically reverse the switch? I am very new to this, so maybe I have it wrong. Example scenario, the train is approaching the Y-switch, I toggle it to have the train move to the right through the loop. Once past the switch, I need to toggle it to the left for the train to come back through the Y without derailing. Is that correct? I'd like to have two or three trains running simultaneously at somepoint without having to supervise.
Thanks. Tony
