Which Digikeijs products do I need ?

Alastair #4 I wonder if you could please help me ? I have commenced construction of an HO North American railroad layout in my home. I am using Lenz DCC XpressNet for locomotive control, DCCconcepts for servo control of the turnouts (linked to the DCC), and Decoder Pro Panel Pro for the overall mimic, control and despatching of the railroad. I now wish to make a decision with regard to the block control and reverse loop control. A friend of mine suggested Digikeijs as a likely good supplier of this aspect. The layout will be on several levels connected by a helix (which I am constructing at the moment). I have attached a .pdf of the lower (staging) level of the layout and the first turn of the helix showing my intended detection blocks. I think I require Digikeijs R4088LN-CS feedback modules (which operate 16 feedback (or block detections) each) - is that correct ? In addition the Block 1 on the attached .pdf (as you can clearly see) is a reversing Y - what Digikeijs product will I require here ? In addition please could you tell me (and I am not - yet :-) - an expert) what else I would require from the Digikeijs range to integrate block?detection (and probably other kinds of detection in the future) from Digikeijs with my Lenz DCC and Panel Pro ?? Probably a separate Loconet bus or the like connecting the Digikeijs products to my laptop running Panel Pro ? Panel pro is already operating on my computer and communicating with my Lenz DCC system. I am not intending to use any form of automatic control of the locomotives/trains at this time. I hope you can help me. I look forward to hearing back from you. Thank you very much for your help.

The DR5013 DigiReverse will take care of the Y.? It also has block detection built in.? If you aren't using the DR5000 then you will need a LocoBuffer USB to make the connection to the PC. If you have any more questions please let me know. Ryan ??
