Thanks Jay.
I've seen so many repeat questions about how to hook up simple trackside accessories, contactors, etc, that I decided that a post on how to make an insulated track section is due.
I just expanded on it from there.
I like the write up. I think the best part is the simplicity of reversing loops. This is especially so for ad-hoc floor layouts where no external controls need to be added, like a DCC controller. This is one of the reasons I went with O instead of HO as it allowed my kids to make track layouts that allowed reversing and multiple trains on a track.
