Reply to "New Layout Design"

Thanks for the comments All!

I wired in the second spur during the evenings this week. Next up is the Ross 4-way. I had this wired in on the last layout so wiring will be fairly straight forward this time around. Last hook up I had non-derail on the four output rails plus three DZ 1011's (you also need the DZ-1008 relay) for turnout direction. Once I have everything wired and working I will post the electrical schematic I made. I have connection schematics for various signal and detector options I have used in the past (MTH, Lionel, Z-Stuff). I have posted them before but if anyone is interested and if I have the combo you want I can post again. I did buy a bunch of Atlas O #200 snap relays to use with Atlas O switch motors and dwarf signals but have not tried any as yet.

Many moons ago when I started my first layout (circa 2008) I invested in some Lionel IR detectors - never tried the MTH verasion. For the most part they worked just fine and most are still working but as they quit I am replacing with Z-Stuff DZ1075's. This is solely due to the size difference which is phenomenal and so far the DZ detectors have been bullet proof with Lionel and MTH signals.
