All these polarity-switching solutions presume only 1 train. If you've got 3 trains, and each of them is hitting a block boundary at the same time, you're going to have a short no matter what you do. Best solution for DCC is to get your insulated (...) (21 years ago, 3-Jun-03, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto, lugnet.trains)

(...) Just so you know, if you want to accomplish the same thing without sawing on your track, get some clear 3M tape and stick it on the inside face of each rail.

That probably why real trains have two locos, right? :) (...) (21 years ago, 3-Jun-03, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto, lugnet.trains)

(...) Actually LEGO has offered at least one 4-wide train and that was in 1965, prior to the introduction of the track: set 323. The 1966 trainset 111 (with track) has already 6-wide plates, but the engine is 2-wide with a 4-wide cab ;-) Niels (21 years ago, 3-Jun-03, to lugnet.trains)
