General Discussion / Re: Isolating Tracks

Thanks for all the feedback.  I am not using DCC control, just the standard Bachmann power packs.  Our local hobby shop advised not to use the #6 Crossover for this application, but rather two #5 Turnouts of the same hand (either right #44566 or left #44565).  The metal track connectors have to be removed and replaced with isolators.   Any thoughts...I appreciate the feedback.

I am using Bachmann Nickel Silver HO EZ-Track.  I have an outer loop using 22 inch radius track and an inner loop using 18 inch radius.  I want to connect the two loops using the #6 Crossover switch unit.  However, I want to isolate the two loops (electrically) and run one train on each loop with two power supplies.  I want to be able to switch either train to either loop.  What do I need to do?
