Title: Auto-reversing track electronics
Post by: gmhtrains on March 14, 2012, 12:37:58 AM
While moving I lost the Hayes bumper auto-reversing track piece that is key to making the special track function. I currently have a query sent to Bachmann's parts department asking if the bumper section is available for separate sale. If not, has anyone examined this piece to the extent of being able to explain what wiring and parts are needed to turn any straight or curved auto-reversing section into an end-of-the-line piece? I plan to install the reversing line inside a large industry with a diesel critter shuttling open flat cars between two warehouses, so the end-of-line trackage doesn't need to look pretty.

Take a standard peice of track and cut gaps in the rails  from the far side away from the other end of the track solder feeder wires to the track, connect the wires to the conductors that run under the reversing track.
