Hello, I have been helping my dad to get his layout up and running to the very best it can, and I have been running into a rather odd issue.

We are using bachmann EZ track, and with the turnouts or as I would call them, switches, we have been having some difficulties with a specific few.

All,

I'm in the planning stages of a new basement layout and I was wondering if anyone was using a Reverted Loop to serve open staging as described by John Armstrong?

Multiple searches don't turn up anything other than theory.

I'm leaning toward something similar to Paul Dolkos's new Baltimore Harbor District layout which he is using open staging in his utility area.

If so any advantages or disadvantages to a Reverted Loop?

Thanks,

Lou

After a short visit to the VA for an eye exam and a new pair of "free" glasses, made some progress on the model railroad. Tested all tracks and fixed a few power problems including cleaning all the track.

Hi all

Well with some great feedback I'm starting my new layout, bench work has begun and I am taking a module approach to this build, not the kind that can be changed around like FreeMo but just so I can take a section and build it on the bench, you could say TOMA inspired but I started planning this long before I saw that.
