How many AR1's are needed for 2 reverse loops

(1/1)

martrain:
Do I need one AR1 for each reverse loop
Any problems installing the "BYPASS" track and how do I gap those railsIMG_20160328_0003.pdf

William Brillinger:
Here is a link to the manual for the AR-1.  You will need 1 AR-1 for each reverse loop.

If you include the bypass, then your reverse loops are actually not gaped correctly, they should be gaped as shown here:

martrain:
Thanks much for the quick reply -- the bypass was an afterthought after I started laying track and knew I could count on the forum for advice.

William Brillinger:
wait for it...

there will be more and better advice than mine coming along any moment!

nodcc4me:
Bill is correct. You need gaps at both ends of the loops but exclude the bypass because it is not going to change the train's direction.
