S scale question

No.

no you have to use a spdt switch or circuit

Can it be done ??????

Can what be done?

Hi, I use "American Model Distributors" circuit board PSX-AR-AC on all turntables I manufacture if the customer has a 2 rail layout. This company has boards for AC, DCS or DCC powered layouts. Thanks, Dave

Thanks

Another Question...with Lionel and MTH coming out with proto and legacy S engines....is polarity still an issue on a reverse loop ???

Yes.

Do most S layouts avoid the reverse loop and just have the train go the one direction ??

Either direction, avoid the loop.

Thanks

Hi Nessmuck,

Flyin-High suggested a circuit board to help you out.  Here is the link to the website for the board.  Before you give up, you might want to take a look.  It sounds like they might have a solution to what you want to do.  As Flyin-High suggested it's the PSX-AR-AC board for two rail AC.

Makes no real difference what "most S layouts" have.  The question should be what do you want for your layout?  If you want a reverse loop, there is no reason not to have one.  Yes, it will take some extra wiring and maybe a toggle switch or a solid state device.  But it is not hard and anyone can do it if they read a book or magazine article or seek advice on the Internet.  A bit of education comes first, then the hardware.  I would suggest that you go down that path if a reverse loop is what you really want.  The goal is to have fun with the hobby.  Good luck.....Ed L.
