Hi guys.
I've been considering getting into O. Either 2-rail scale or 3 rail O, I'm still weighing all options.
I currently have a decent sized S scale layout. I model modern era. My layout runs mostly lionel legacy units and other older units with TMCC installed, but I have to be careful which engines I lash-up to make them work correctly. I can only lash them running the same direction in my experience in S also which sucks.
Here's my question. In O 3 rail, does having the 3rd rail allow you have engines facing opposite directions like a typical modern lash up would look like and function correctly? I've noticed a couple O layouts where this is done, but I wasn't sure if they were dummy units or if O 3 rail had that option using whatever engines you basically wanted and which ever direction facing, as long as they operate on whatever system you have (Legacy, MTH dcs, etc..).
Thanks guys!
