I have noticed that when I do this the red and brown would cross over see diag 1. The points has a red and brown connector wich would be wrong. So before I connect this all up and plug in my CS2 and put a loco on the track. Will this design be ok, even though the red and brown are going to be crossed ? Tim cs2 red brown dilema.pdf (44kb) downloaded 103 time(s). I forgot to mention I am using marklin C track

I use the Lenz LK200 reverse loop module. It works very well and is easy to setup. When available, some time next year, you can also use the Märklin/Trix reverse loop module (Trix #66846).

Yeah, I understood the post as there was an actual problem occurring - and that could only mean two rail. Anyway, now there is an answer for users of both track types. :-)
