Trucula
Drum Driver
Ok here's the issue. I am sure this has been covered before. I even read the past post to the link on wiring. Just looking for some personal input. I am new to DCC and am learning the hard way. We started out building a dual mainline which should have basically resembled a double folded dog bone. (easiest way to describe it) The week I wasn't there the guys laid the track near "Chris Creek". Instead of continuing the dual line thru the loops they figured one in the tunnel and one thru the town. With this arrangement it turned the dual mainline into a single track!...So with each trip around its a different track/direction. Which is OK. A couple guys thought when we add the crossovers it wouldn't hurt polarity with DCC. I said it has to. And it did. I had a reversing unit in my stock pile and last night I cut the track into 4 sections (cuts are at bold red marks). We plan on placing 4 reversing modules at these spots... Here's my questions:
1 How many more places do you think we should break it into? (NOTE: dual gauge section from Mt. Union to Rockhill including the "Y" will be a separate analog system.)
2 If train "A" crosses a reversing unit onto next track section, what happens to another train that maybe be in that section?
Am sure these questions prob. seem basic to a lot but like I said I am new to this Hope you can see the track ok, track is cut at Chris Creek (on each loop)and directly across from it near blue river.
