Good morning...I have inherited a nice HO layout using EZ Track, that is a figure 8 within an oval. I have a EZ Command DCC Controller and a DCC ready Locomotive. I have read a number of posts concerning this layout, but I am still a little unsure of the wiring.  In the box of things I inherited are two DCC Reverse Loop Modules, and two unopened packages of 9" power terminals with insulated gap (44597). My main question is where is the most prudent location for the insulated gap track, and then the input/output connections to the reverse loop module?  Thanks in advance for your help.

Dear James,
What you have is, in effect, four reverse loops within an oval.
This is challenging to wire, but it can be done. In fact, I'm sure
it's been addressed here, and hopefully a wiring wizard will help
again. (I'm not such a wizard.)
Anybody? Buhler?

 It would greatly help if you could post a picture or drawing of your layout so we can see exactly what you are working with.
