Well I'm happy to say the engines climbed my helix fine will have to wait and see when I get my reverse loop modules to see if it will pull a couple cars up it, but I'm guessing it will by the way the engines went up it. I have 5-6 engines all steam type and they all made it except for one of them it was spinning alot.

Jerry,

Would mind posting a picture of your lay out? So I can see it. I wanted to make sure mine was going to work before I went to far on plastering it and painting it. Thanks BRAD

Jerry,

When I get all these reverse loop modules installed can I run my DCC engines that smoke and whistle on it? Or do have to just run my analog engines? Do use the same controller that I have? also do have these reverse loop modules also on your lay out? Thanks again for the help. BRAD

Jerry,

Thanks so much for your help I had no idea that there was this much to running a train around a track I have learned alot in a few months. Apparently the polar express which is a 3 rail track does not need all this reverse loop stuff because it does not need to reverse polarity!!! My wife said this morning why don't you just get the polar express if it's easier, why couldn't of she told me that 4 months ago before I started buying all this HO & ON30 stuff. I don't know yet if it will run up the mountain that I built yet because I have not been able to get it to run yet. I will let you know as soon as I get it running. I only plan on having the engine 2-3 cars & a caboose on the the track.

Here is a link to my pictures of my lay out. It took awhile but here it is. Hopefully this will help.

I hace an EZ command that I blieve does DC & DCC by using differant buttons on the controller. I think what I have is 2 what you call reverse loops using turn outs that I believe can be run manually or power them. The only way I could figure out to post a picture was in my profile picture.

How do I post a picture?

If I have 2 separate loops connected by one common track do I need 2 of these controls? I can send a couple pictures of my lay out if needed. I have bought several cars from you recently. Thanks Very Much BRAD- bradbrewster
