Reply to "2 rail sales numbers down"

Really?? How do all the HO & N scale layouts that are 2-rail and have balloon tracks manage?? For DCC, simple 'reverse loop modules' are readily available. Honestly, judging by many of the comments I see from 3-rail guys, anyone would think these smaller scales, that work perfectly well in 2-rail, had never been invented!!??!!

I'll admit I haven't followed HO and N or DCC all that closely since switching to 3-rail O, and I'm definitely not an expert.  It just always seemed people were either complaining about the complexity or the cost of the electronics to manage it all.  I remember one conversation in another forum where an HO modeler just completely questioned the need for a reverse loop at all.  As if it wasn't common in HO and most people didn't have them.  I honestly have no idea, like I said before it's been a good 20 years since I've thought seriously about HO, and there's enough to keep track of building an O scale layout as is.

But the point stands, in dead rail and 3-rail, it's not a concern.
