My newly acquired Challenger has raised a "reversing siding" for my RR, the 'PAZ'.
This 'PAZ' Island is about 24" long in a lazy dogbone, South end is about 5 1/2 feet and North end about 8 feet, center is approx 5 1/2 feet wide. The 8 foot end is not a tru radius due to some straights added on the West curve for a 30* diamond into the storage shed.
Challenger can come out of shed, across connecting bridge into secondary inside track and left hand WR switch, about 3' to a right hand WR and straight lead. Back thru the straight RH WR and RH WR to a LH WR into engine house. THIS will be a dead track switchable to power to back in, then cutout and switched to power out (reverse polarity) then pull out thru some switches to an X-crossing and backing on the a main which at least 10' curves, maybe some 20' in there as well.
2 questions: 1. Power by removeable allegator clips and wire, or permanent switches.
2. Do I use the reversing switch on the Challenger and will it work.
I just do not want to keep putting-on and taking-off the rails...
