How would you connect 2 different LTC layouts together when the way the
transformers and therefore power distribution is different? If you did
a straight connection then one group would control the others trains.
The solution I thought of was to make the section self-isolating. The
train would go onto the section, stop at a cool 12V signal, then someone
slides a switch and the train is now in control of the other group. How
would a purist make the section self-isolating, sliding track, RCX?
Another way would be to use points/switches either end but that would
restrict the placement of the module - it would have to be on a corner
on each groups layouts.
