with auto reverse has been connected to the wiring. I now have two DCC
boosters with 3 zones operating the layout. The auto reverse function works
well when turning trains on the reverse loop. The staging tracks will hold
a 27 car freight headed by 4 FT diesels and a 12 car CA Zephyr passenger
train with 4 F3 diesels with room to spare. One of the tracks in the helix
can also be used as staging for 2 more trains. Now I can start building the
second turn of the helix. After that comes the tunneling through the wall
and bench work and trackage in the adjoining room which will connect the
west end of Helper yard with the summit at the top of the helix. This will
be the westbound ruling grade on the layout at 2.4%.
