Ace posted:Unfortunately the fixed-voltage capacitor-discharge arrangement doesn't work well for O27 switches on a small reverse loop, as discussed here:

... Suppose you have a train going through a small reverse loop with an 1122 switch powered by capacitor discharge. The switch triggers automatically and unnecessarily when the train enters the loop, and if the train goes through the loop too fast the capacitor may not be adequately charged to fire the switch again for the train to exit the loop.
And as long as metal wheels and axles are on the O27 switch, the capacitor cannot begin recharging. So that is why I used standard-O switches for this loop-to-loop mini-layout!
Thanks, Ace, for taking the time to explain!
Take care, Joe.
