Wouter is likely correct. No. 2 is probably overkill. Told you I was waiting for the comments of the experts or comic. ? Bill D N&W Steam Only

Here is the plan. It is rather simple. the green section is the AR sector.

"Second, there should be a non-AR length of track (separating the far or reverse end of the “other” track from any AR track), at least as long as the train you run with steel wheels that will

William, Sounds like you’ve taken the steps to isolate the other track such that there is no conflict if only a single train is entering the AR segment from either entrance at one time. If the

Jim Betz, My third point exactly. One cannot have more than one train crossing the isolating rail gaps at the same time. Bill D N&W Steam Only

The thing to watch out for with multiple entrances is having trains entering/leaving at two different entrances at the same time. If they call for different polarities it can make things not

Bill, that other track which enters the reversing loop is electrically isolated from the AR segment by a gap between the turnout and a stub - ended lead into a classification yard. The lead?is

William, The biggest problem/issue would be "what happens if two trains/locomotives are crossing the reversing section at the same time?".? This situation is likely to confuse the reverser to the

If the “other” track is physically isolated from the rest of the layout, e.g., a siding, there shouldn’t be any issues. But I assume that is not the primary concern. If the “other”

I have used automotive brake lamps for circuit protection for years. Simple, the current of the lamps controls the current of the circuit. Achieve max current draw, the lamp lights, resistance becomes

That sounds like a problem that needs a specific scenario. Then it could possibly be figured out, but I am not sure that there is a general answer. ...Tom

Would a second track leading into a reversing loop interfere with the function of a reverser (e.g. Digitrax AR-1)? Is special wiring needed?

I believe the original question (as reflected in the subject line) dealt with powering a frog in a turnout WITHIN a reversing section. That is what the latest posts seem to be “missing.” Not a

Totally with you, Jim. I've been bewildered by some of the things I read... Wouter

Jim's logic is correct. A reversing section with only one entrance is like a separate layout. Flip the polarity before entering, and everything inside is flipped together. The main thing is that the

Hmmm, I thought 'standard practice' (aka the basic approach) is to wire the turnout to 'the rest of the layout' and have the?reversing section start just beyond that turnout.? If you have

John, You’re correct (of course), which suggests that the objective cannot be achieved if a TV Hexjuicer is being used both as an AR and to power the frog. I don’t know of any convenient way to

Of course the simpler solution is to power the frog through the servo as the turnout is thrown and avoid any potential conflict. Bill D N&W Steam Only

Thanks John.

Bill, except that the AR must be timed such that it doesn't try to reverse before the frog juicer does.? Hence the TV instructions to wire their Frog Juicers directly from the booster.? What the OP
