Mr. Ingram, your videos are very insightful. On my medium sized layout a train will traverse the entire layout, reverse direction, before returning to the starting point. Would you be willing to review my track plan and make recommendations as to where to install the Z Stuff sensors?
Thank you,

I just saw your message today.

I'm not sure I can help you, but I would be HAPPY to take a look.

My contact info (phone & email) is at www.JamesIngram.net .

I assume you're using "analog" (non DCC) ??

For reversing a train or trains, it seems much easier to do it using the NCE "DCC Controller".

If you can find a minute, watch about 30 seconds of Video #829, https://youtu.be/vTkGr9zzSMc?t=37 .

It shows THREE trains running point-to-point, no blocks, 1 Z-Stuff detector.
