i am not sure how the shinohara crossover works. i've never been a fan of their products. it might be simpler to make your own from atlas components. for this you'll need the following:
1 25 degree crossing.
2 #4 left
2 #4 right
2 2" straight.
the reason i suggested making your own from atlas components is that they are known to be dcc friendly. atlas track has been dcc friendly for over 50 years, long before there was dcc. no need for an autoreverser with their track. the frogs are isolated but can be easily powered using a caboose industries hand throw, with contacts.
it sounds to me from the description of the shinohara crossover that while the individual switches may be dcc friendly, the crossing at the center is not. thus the need for an autoreverser on dcc. bear in mind that autoreversers for dcc are NOT compatable with dc. the atlas track will work with either dc or dcc with no modifications.

Have to agree with the crew. A good plastic cement is what you need. You can obtain it from the same source you got the Walther's kits from.

Today I found and bought Rhino Glue, how about this one, anyone ?
I wonder if you read any of the replies before buying the Rhino stuff?

look at my roundhouse project thread and go to my 2nd layout pic. this will give you some ideas how i used them.
Jerry
decided to post a pic and make it easier for you.
the back wall is 12ft and I used a 4% grade and spaced the sections out to give it a easier grade to climb. along the left wall i used pieces of 2x4"s to carry the grade over to a 3% decline that i also stretched out to make it go 11ft. and a stable elevation around the turns and then down to the track level on the other side.
right now i am trying to do the math on what grade i changed it to. all my loco's handle this perfectly with no drag going up and does not speed up going down.
