Diodes and Switch Wiring
Richard wants to hear from anyone in the hobby who knows about diodes and asks:
“I thought that I may have seen a way by using diodes in a bridge? I thought that a reversing loop would automatically change the polarity so there was no need to go to the 2 switch wiring. I’m a total newbie so please disregard my total ignorance on what is very basic knowledge. Thanks to anyone who can help on your blog.”

Hi Richard, Look a few blogs back at Loop Tracks and reverse circuit, they tell you to use the AR1 from Digitrax inc. It is an auto reverse loop box, and it has easy install instructions. Even for the more experienced model RR these reverse loops can be confusing. I have not installed the AR1 yet but I have now purchased them for the ease and use of it and I will replace the one I have in operation now and when I add 2 more loops I will be using them. I use to do the old wireing and operation way but that is too complicated to tell you here and this way is more enjoyable to operate. Tony P
