I use one of these on my reverse loop works every time even on DCC. Best of luck Graeme

If you are using a reverse loop as in my attached diagram there will always be a short circuit problem that can simply be fixed by cutting the tracks at the points A and B and inserting switches so that A is connected and B isolated and vice versa. The train will need to be stopped between A and B so that the direction on your controller can be reversed before you throw both A and B switches. Electronic gurus can devise a way to keep the train moving through the whole loop.
