I was thinking of using 12v track for this kind of thing - running both
rails as 0v, and both centre lines moving betweeen +9v..-9v. Dunno if it's
worth trying to get hold of all that 12v track, though.
Wouldn't need RCX control, but you would need a custom controller to get the
reverse voltage happening. Or maybe just a switch (electrical) of some kind?

| (...) This brings up one of the things on my wish list for somewhere in the distant future... I think it would be nice if we could run trains on a layout in a "Dog Bone" configuration (I.E. 2 reversing loops connected by a length of staight track) (...) (23 years ago, 26-Feb-01, to lugnet.trains)
