Can someone design a reverse loop showing the track pieces required?
I have a bunch of Atlas O-45 full curve tracks and several 10" straight tracks and I want to build a reversing loop. I know that I will need a switch or Y but what else do I need? What switch would work best? Any other full of partial curve track needed?
I ask as I no longer have a hobby shop nearby so when I do go (or mail order) I would like to get the rest of what I need.

This is either or. A cross-over switching pair was added to make it a reversing loop. All switches are O 54. Loop is O54.
One more cross over pair of switches was added. Lower left in picture.

Thanks Dave - that is exactly what I needed. Now i have a complete shopping list for the hobby shop.
Thanks again.

Thanks Mike - great visual. Nice to see the track layout.
