Ok everyone. Im having a hard time deciding on what type of control system to use to control my switch machines. I have about a dozen installed now and most of them are in areas that are not easy to get at. So I have been looking at different manufactures and their products and cant make up my mind. I am currently using a Digitrax system with A DB150 which I do plan to upgrade, UR91 radio receiver, DT400D throttle and an old computer running windows XP and an older version of JMRI.

For the past few months I have been wiring, installing switch machines, programming DCC, soldering drops to the power buss, wiring, going back and dividing the DCC into blocks, cleaning track, adjusting turnouts, fine-tuning turntables, wiring ...

...and there is NO visible change.  For months.  Ok, well, you either see piles of wiring crud on the layout or not, when it is packed away in boxes.

On my new track layout I have two Reverse Loops to deal with. I would appreciate some info on good DC Auto Polarity Reverse products. Thanks

Note quite sure what this type of turnout is called, here is what I want to accomplish.

I have a reverse loop that I want the train to always enter the same way. At present I am using a PSX-AR to control the turnout but that throws the turnout as a train traverses the reverse loop, not what I want.

Am I looking at some sort of spring to apply just enough pressure on the points to hold them in one position yet light enough to allow my lightest rolling stock to pass through without derailment?

Any advise or recommendations?

Thanks,

John
