TCS decoders
I just spoke with TCS support and got an immediate resolution to a question I could not find in their documentation. I use their WOW steam systems and nave been extremely satisfied, so suggested they work a little more with MRH to produce videos like we see with ESU. I keep finding new features on my decoders by accident, and could benefit from (and perhaps many could) run-throughs of the many features of their decoders.

Reverted Loop Staging
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

The big issues for me ,as usual, were time and space. Being older comfort was important.

I posted a thread a few weeks ago about how I am wanting to have a grade crossing protected by traffic signals that the crew can switch to either let the railroad or the auto traffic have control of the crossing. Here is a link to that thread:
