I have what is essentially a single track mainline with reverse loops at each end. The loop at one end is a long dogbone in which the two tracks run parallel for some distance to give the impression of a double track mainline. I assume I follow the directions for wiring reverse loops for this section but are there any issues with having a long loop section? Also, how does the wiring change if I add crossovers where the tracks run parallel? I am wiring for dcc.

I sent this to the members of the club and thought a few of you might enjoy it.

Hi Folks, I have been working on  some new signals and thought I would show the group. The store bought ones seem to expensive and most of the time are not to scale. I have combined a TrainCat kit with Oregon Rail Supply heads. I cut the backs off the heads and use just face and hoods... not perfect but pretty good. The LEDs are surface mount without lenses (from Mouser) and I am using Zebra Wire to hook them up. I glue the LEDs to the head with gap filling ACC.     How does it look... any suggestions?

Railstars has been a lurker on this forum for some time now, but perhaps you've seen our banner ad for LOLbooster, our 3A DCC booster kit. Anyway, the time seemed right to introduce ourselves, our products, and our plans. We're very excited about our products, and we plan on making a few announcements in the near future; watch this space!
