My layout consists of mostly C track and bridges and ramps with M track. I have the s88 decoder to report the feed back from the C track but don't know how to get the feedback from the M track. I believe you can use only the ground to the s88 which I am doing with the C track blocks but can't figure a way to go through the same s88 decoder using the M track to get the feedback with the M track blocks.

If you are doing it via isolated outer rail there are special m-track sections that have the same capability, they are commonly used with the barrier crossing but also to activate station lighting.

Look through the m track section of a catalogue, you may find them under special sections

Thanks Cookee, I have some of those isolated M track outer rails which,as you say, would work but I am trying to use the M track ramps and bridges I already have to go overhead with that particular track block. I might have to figure something else for that section or just purchase some C track ramps and bridges. Thanks again.... Jim
