Gentleman;
LocoMods has understood my poor description as intended. Outside rail is not center rail, inside or outside of loop does not matter to DCS.
And yes, it seems the DCS Companion states the engines reply on the outside rails.
I thought they spoke on the center rail because the outer rail does not need to be blocked but considering it more, the engine probably does not speak as often or as complex as the TIU and therefore the signals would not overlap as much.
EastonO;
You will find the numbers are always good on a small layout, the power is sufficient to overcome any issues. Problems creep in as you get complex and larger.
My 11 foot by 23 foot figure 8 with Wyes across the middle was great with 2 drops until I added an couple more dead end sidings.
I really need to break the center rail in a few places.
But since I'm replacing the whole thing with Scaletrax as soon as finances allow, It will wait. I only have one 3 foot stretch (across the top of a wye) where I can't command engines so I'm satisfied for now.
