Hi,
? Although auto-reverse is fun ... most of the methods for doing it using
DCC are, to my eye at least, unsatisfactory because the train doesn't
make a nice -gentle- slow to a stop, pause a long time, and then accelerate
-slowly- off in the opposite direction.? It -is- possible to this "right" but
you need to start off with that as part of your goal/must haves.
? Personally, I'd rather not have a 'semi-static display' like this (where
the train/motorcar/whatever goes back and forth 'all on its own' but
it's YOUR layout and you should do what you want.? I guess I'm just
a grumpy old man today.? Sorry.
?
? An important thing that hasn't been said yet - if you decide to do
this as an "isolated DC piece of track" make super-certain that all
trains on either type of track can NOT derail and cross the streams of
the DCC and DC.? Really bad/expensive things happen!
