Yes, you can automate the reversing loops. In fact, using the RCX to do so should be fairly simple, except that it takes 2 of them to do it. (Just using 1 rail for now-) (rcx a)rail-gap-rail(rcx b) The two of them set the polarity the same, such (...) (21 years ago, 2-Jun-03, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto, lugnet.trains, FTX)
