Automatic Reversing Loop Module Compatibility

Hello,
I've designed an expanded plan for my layout that would incorporate a double reversing loop, much like a figure 8.  I was informed that I would need an auto-reverser for this configuration, and figured the E-Z  Command Automatic Reversing Loop Module would be simple enough.  My question is, would this module work with track that isn't Bachmann EZ Track?

Yes. See the section at the bottom of page 2 of the instructions:

You'll need to cut off the flat black EZ-Track connectors on the cables from the module, then solder them to the rails of the track you're using. Or splice them onto wires from terminal rail joiners if you prefer.

If at first you don't succeed, throw it in the spare parts box.

The most important question is> Are you running DC or DCC. Because autoreversers only work on DCC. For DC you'll have to find another way to power your reversing sections.
