IF you don't have any crossovers on the other modules.

If you've got crossovers, then yes, to use them you will need to have some kind of electrical reversing section. If you use DC (I do…) thn gap the throat of the loop and put an auto-reverser into the track power feed of the loop itself.

If you have two loops (making a dogbone style layout) you will need a reversing unit in each loop. There are other ways to do it, but one reverser per loop is the easiest and most simple way to guarantee you won't be without it when you need it.

I use 2 1/2" 1/4-20 carriage bolts and slot the tops of them for a screwdriver adjustment. I also set the "T' nut up inside the block as shown in the cross-section picture shown - well that isn't going to work, can't figure out how to get an image from my picture files.

EtA: I'm in the process of editing the loops with #4 turnouts to correct them now.
EtA2: Done!

I like the ideas here.

The dimensions of the offset balloon look like centimeters vs millimeters.

Thanks,

A: According to Bob, pilot holes for nails. The sides are glued but the nails help to hold the sides in place until the glue dries. Bob said he uses 2-3 track nails per side.
