thanks for responding- I’ve learned a great deal over the last few weeks. The reverse loop was causing all sorts of issues but in the end the major part was the amount of track that I made part of the loop - so in the end I have just one flank of the triangle. However more importantly I think it was the auto reverse polarity on the boosters - I think in effect I ended up with the DR5013 racing the DR 5033’s to switch polarity! As soon as I disabled the reverse polarity on the boosters things improved no end. Now by using the full capability of the dr5013 it all runs like a dream - you no longer get that momentary short when the loco hits start or end of the reverse loop.
for what it’s worth the other thing I learned was I had one point with a cobalt on in the reverse loop area. I had to rewire this so the switch was used for the frog polarity and the accessory was fed from a bus outside the reverse loop.

hope all that makes some sense- so I’m a happy camper it works fantastically now!! Even got the Z21 app to show the sections on the track plan.
