nymark Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 I'm going to run some reverse loops on my G scale RR. Is anyone familiar with this LGB track 1015K. I think they just isolate the loop. Do they require a reverse circuit machine? Thanks=Nymark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayman4449 Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 I'm not myself, maybe someone else here can help that is familiar with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nymark Posted December 11, 2015 Author Share Posted December 11, 2015 I've run reverse loops in N and HO scale. I'm not too good understanding electricity but can get the job done and solve problems that I'm in the shade about through trial and error. There must be a standard way (the right way) to run reverse loops for a DCC, G scale layout. Thanks-Nymark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayman4449 Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 Generally the standard way to handle a reversing loop is to have the loop that comes back around on the straight to be completely isolated(like you said), then once the entire train is on the loop the polarity reversal occurs. As far as specific info on specific units I'm not sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nymark Posted December 12, 2015 Author Share Posted December 12, 2015 Thanks Rayman-MRC makes a really simple reverse unit for HO and N scale. I'm not sure it will work for G but I think it might. That would be a very easy solution. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WildBill1478 Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 i have a reverse loop just put it up , control the polarity with double thro double pole with the +&- going to the center 2 post, chriscross outer 4post. A isolater on all 4 rails at the end. you figger out how to make it automatic,thats my problem {automatc} I would like to run my g scale trains with a phone, turn on anything on the layout from anywhere in the world,while watching on some gagett the younger kids don"t seem to be interested in trains today.Do you think that might sparke there interist ? Anyone know where i could visit a g scale working dcs layout?I have been trying to get mine going for the last 15 years. [HELP] looking forard to hearing from someone thanks Wildbill out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suncoasttrains Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 Hey nymark. Did you use the mrc module. .I'm trying them and it's not working. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[HELP] looking forard to hearing from someone thanks Wildbill out make a new post of your own asking for help wiring your layout. I will try to help you as well as others here. It does take some rule following to get the layout working but 15 years?? I have mine on utube all running with DCS. Problems creep up and I solve them. I would always suggest to anyone trying, to start with a simple loop of track or smaller section and go from there. Any loop must be broke at least in one spot . Once you establish that all the equipment works properly, it's easier to move forward. You must have something wired so that it kills the signal or some pieces of equipment doing harm? What TIU version and what version of DCS are you using? What power? Etc. will all need to be posted for proper help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
