I've purchased EZ Command and am a novice at this. Here's my question:
If I have a DCC equipped engine moving down a length of track and it passes over an insulated rail junction with wires reversed after the insulators, will it stop, short circuit, reverse....? What do I do if the engine stalls at the insulators.
The dashed lines below indicate one of the two rails of track. "{" indicates an insulator
DCC Command feeding + AC (+) ------------------------------{---------------------------- (-)
DCC Command feeding – AC (-) ------------------------------{---------------------------- (+)
If I have two parallel tracks with opposited polarity (ie., outside rails are positive and inside rails are negative) and use two insulated (from each other) turnouts to create a crossover, can my DCC engine cross over the insulators without stalling?
