    HI Folks:

    Due to my layout design, I will end up with 3 reversing loops -- 2 are currently in existence, and right now I am using DPDT toggle switches to control them -- they work, but ANNOYING. I know there are automatic units out there from many manufacturers. I'm not asking whats out there, I am asking for RECOMMENDATIONS as to which ones you like and think work best.

    I am running N scale, hopefully eventually 2 - 3 trains at a time, some with 2 -3 locomotives at a time, I am currently using a NCE Powercab, which I hope to upgrade to an SB5 soon and eventually radio control

    Thanks for your input

    HO layout with two reversing loops and NCE DCC system. I started with two Digitrax AR1 auto reversers... they seemed to work... however they proved to momentarily stop if the loco was going to fast out of the reversing section. NCE told me that was a known problem with the AR1's they are too slow and to upgrade to PSX Auto reverserers... Swapped those in and No problem. I use the AR1 for a turntable which is obviously slow.

    I have used a PSX-AR on two layouts with two different designs of reversing section. It always worked flawlessly.

    Read the instructions in order to get the best operational support from your PSX-AR. Twice.
