Hello,
So this summer I plan to start working on a small building to eventually put a layout in. I'll be using EZ track for the most of but i'm a little confused on one part though. this would be some turntable issues, my layout is going to be DCC and I would like to know how to use an auto reverse loop (preferably the Bachmann brand if possible) so I don't cause any polarity issues. Due to limited space I'll be using an auto reverse loop for my longer locomotives. But I still would like to use the full potentials of the Bachmann turntable with my layout. if anyone knows how to work around with this, by all means please let me know, if you have any pictures or sketches please attach them also.

Thank you and happy railroading

Ok so after looking at some ideas on the website provided by Mr. Nathan, I've come up with and idea. So I'm gonna do a balloon(ish) style reverse loop with the turntable in the middle of the loop, will my engines run properly through the loop without any interference, or is there some adjustments you guys would suggest?
