That would ensure the whole system is either DC or RP. Then you could use the AR-1 or toggle switch for the reverse loop without worrying.

Another possible solution if you want fully automatic operation with both RP and DC would be a simple logic circuit and IR sensors across the reverse track entrance and exit.

I had thought about getting a 5PDT switch (if such a thing exists).

Hello, not sure if you've given up on this or if you're still contemplating, especially if it's going to be a couple of years. While I've never seen a 5PDT switch, however you can stack relays and control them with a single switch. As in a 4PDT or 2-DPDT and a SPDT make a 5P. Could be as simple as flipping a switch (simple is my favorite too).

Just a thought,
PatP
