    Hey JeyJey. That's just a picture I got off the internet showing of how my turnouts have been converted to be DCC friendly. The whole AR section is totally isolated from the main bus sections.
    Any power to the AR section comes from the Digitrax AR1 (which i suspect might be the problem).

    I have issues getting in and out of the AR section from both mains.
    Thanks for getting back to me JeyJey

    There is a recent post elsewhere that a user fixed his auto-reverser problem by putting an auto-light-bulb in one of the wires going to the auto-reverser.

    Thanks Bob, I'll look for that. That would absorb the short until the AR1 relay kicked in. Worth a try!

    Hey All, Here is the update!! I bought the PSX-AR from DCC Specialties and the Auto Reverse Section is working FLAWLESSLY!!!!!! What a relief!!
    Now i have to repair all the unnecessary gaps i put in the rails trying to find the solution. Any tips on how to fill gaps between track in N scale to smooth out the ride? Should i fill the gap with solder and file it down? Any tips you got would be much appreciated guys!

    Thanks again for all your input!!!
