Thanks Steve,
I posted another thread in the 3 rail forum asking about Gargraves switches. They don't seem to be widely used very much.
1. I'll cut the corner off the Fastrack roadbed to allow for the Gargraves switch and transition track to clear
2. Also, what do I do with the plastic section of the switch that are missing pins. You can see them in the photo. They aren't on the 0-54 switch. Those have metal track ends with pins. All the 0-46 switches have a triangular plastic corner with a pin missing. Nothing on their website explains what to do with that.
3. Let me see if I understand how to isolate the inner and outer loops.
A. Cut the center rail of the two Gargraves transition pieces at the loop exits.
B. Wire all three center rails together on the switches (as with all Gargraves switches)
C. Attach a wire to each half of the cut center rail on the transition piece and attach them to a toggle or slide switch.
D. Or use the Atlas #215 selector. I looked up a photo of that and I already have one in the basement that was intended for my N Gauge, but never used. I assume it works for O Gauge as well.
E. No plastic insulator pins are needed anywhere on the layout.
Truly appreciate the endless help you provide for members of the forum Steve.
John
