(...) [snip] (...) After I had build my first reversing loop, I discovered it was possible to operate such a loop without te need for setting the switch. Ofcourse this requires that you always run through the loop in the same direction, but you (...) (24 years ago, 26-Feb-01, to lugnet.trains)

(...) Yet another good reason why it would be nice to have a wider radius track section... For now though if you have room you might want to consider extending the loop part of the dogbone. Of course if you extend it to much it really isn't a (...) (24 years ago, 26-Feb-01, to lugnet.trains)

(...) The thing for me is that I am more into the Single Track "Short Line" type of layout which is why I would like the reversing loops at either end. There are many good uses for the double track dogbones though and they are definitely easier to (...) (24 years ago, 26-Feb-01, to lugnet.trains)

(...) Most MR dogbones are doubletracked on the middle part. This avoids needing to solve the reverser loop problem (if you omit crossovers) and gives much more operating flexibility since you can have arbitrary numbers of trains operating (within (...) (24 years ago, 26-Feb-01, to lugnet.trains)

(...) I'm working on that very thing for the new GMLTC layout. I've got it pieced together (no pun intended!) in my head, it's just a matter of programming the RCX and give it a whirl. If I'm thinking of everything correctly, it's a simpler solution (...) (24 years ago, 26-Feb-01, to lugnet.trains)
