Reply to "Atlas Switches for reversing loops"

If you're buying new switches, then use Atlas track with ROSS switches. You can buy them wired with DZ1000s and just rig the motors up for anti-derail.

But you dont need a switch machine, you can spring the switch to operate as a reversing switch. The spring out of a click pen is enough to hold the switch closed, but light enough that it'll let the points move if a wheel tries to push on it. Loop the spring through the hole in the throw bar, and connect the other end to a screw or nail run into the layout base. Just have to find the right tension on the spring to keep the points closed.
