You answered every question I had. The last comment at the end of this answered my last question, LOL. Great stuff. And your wiring is very neat! I haven't even gotten back under my layout to start tidying up things yet, hahaha.
Hey Nitro Sorry my reply was late i forgot about the Time change & with my mom's passing which was back in June 23 even though time has passed that many months Dad still feels as it was yester its been tough on him its not been easy on me either but where trying.. On the Circuit Breaker that you own' it would work ok for your parking Tracks but I'd surely isolate the Turntable with a Dedicated Auto Reverser DCC Specialties sells there Auto Reverser for $74.00 this Reverser includes in its board a Circuit Breaker, Auto Reverser, & Silinoid motors for Turnout switch motors which is noble if you need the motors for turnout but if your just needing the Auto Reverser then I'd go with the NCE from Tony's Trains or Spring Creek has them plus Spring Creek has a Lay-a-Way programs ask them what they currently offer if they still do & they ask you how you found there store tell them that Allen RDA N Scale sent ya but NCE'S AR10 is a Solid State Reverser with fully built in Circuit Breaker which will provide protection to the Turntable it's self your DCC Specialties Circuit Breaker can then provide protection to your extension Tracks but in doing this the tracks going into the Turntable will need to isolated this will allow the engine to Run & then to traverse onto the parking tracks with no shorts but if you see a short i would make sure all tracks have The black Unijoiners i was seeing a short when i had powered unijoiners installed & power was flowing into the Turntable from my yard tracks but removing these & replacing them with black unpowered fixed the short i believe Nitro since the Turntable is fully isolated but is powered through the Auto Reverser it safely switches the flow & the Engine can set idling on the table them move to parking tracks without harming the Engine or systen... On my Turntable going out of my Power block the 18 Gauge bell wire i ran the Wire to AR10 hooked it to the Track Side the Special Kato Green DC Wire the Green connector goes to the Turntable Controller but the black connector which would originally click to a DC controller i snipped put 2 ferrules on it & hook to the Loop side of the AR10 that give you Sir full DCC command of the Turntable you can switch the Lever up or Down center shuts off the table which is nice if you have a motor that just possibly gets out of control on the parking tracks if its going fast towards the table centering the lever will stop the Engine.. But I'd go with the AR10 i think NCE has a good thing with it!
Oh.... So after watching both vids several times, I see that you ran the turntable power straight from the NCE power cab and NOT from the EB1 circuit breaker. Now I understand how the EB1 does not break the circuit when the loco crosses to the other tracks and causes a short for the reverser to sense it and reverse the power. LOL. Have I got it now?? LOL. Will I be able to keep all my parking tracks hooked to my main PSXX1 track circuit breaker?
