I'm assuming gapping the track will be the way to go. Can you use a dremel tool for cutting into the track? What kind of glue would be best to use and how do you keep the glue in place to mold with the track until it dries?

Thanks Nathan and Joe for the information. As you can see by my layout, the loop is all curved track and I am assuming there is no problem using insulated rail joiners on curved track. I went to Bachmann's catalog and noticed that the insulated gap track only comes in 9" straight which would not do me any good with my layout.

HO / Wiring for DCC control loop
October 21, 2010, 05:11:59 AM
New to the hobby and I plan on setting up a 4 X 7 layout with one reverse loop (see attached photo of layout). Plan on using auto reversing module with DCC. My question is:  Using EZ reversing track, how many pieces of track do I need in the loop to change the polarity? Will it require 1 piece, 2 pieces or will all the track in the loop have to be reversing track. ]
