“I have a passing loop with a sidings coming off the loop. When I switch the rails to move a loco up the siding the loco in the loop moves as well. Any answers please?”

    You will probably need to put in an isolating gap on the outside rail of the loop at the opposite end of the loop to the siding.

    This has been a recent topic of conversation over on the KATO Yahoo Groups pages. That would probably be the best starting point. Seems there may have been some earlier issues that may have been worked out.

    HI Mike,

    Have you isolated the siding?You can do so by cutting a gap in the outside rail just after the point leading off the loop.Solder two wires either side of the gap and take them to a s.p.s.t.switch.
