(...) Well in that case, I stand corrected - it is not a reversing loop and should work fine. It should not short at all. If it is, I would suggest replacing the points, as they are likely to be the cause of the short. ROSCO (19 years ago, 7-Jun-05, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

(...) Rosco, Thanks. Maybe it is working the way you describe. But in your diagram you have two left hand switches. I have a right and a left so my diagram would make the internal track look like an upside down 'V' rather than a diagonal slash. If (...) (19 years ago, 7-Jun-05, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

(...) If you're getting a short, then you have a reversing loop. I'm guessing it looks something like this: /----\ | _/ If so, you definitely have a reversing loop. You can work around it by insulating the inside section of track completely and (...) (19 years ago, 7-Jun-05, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

Here's the layout: an oval with a left and a right hand turnout. The turnouts turn into the oval and are connected with track. Nothing complicated here. If I switch both turnouts to the inside I get a short. If I switch only one to the inside and (...) (19 years ago, 7-Jun-05, to lugnet.trains)

See next to the red & yellow loco here: (URL) Tan has a similar brightness to light grey, so it can break up the monotony of the colour. My research into real (...)

(...) I agree that black and white have no place in speckling. If one is to only speckle regular LEGO track, then using gray and light gray is a good solution IMO.
