    Anyone attach 2 reverse loops with the PSREV. I was told I could to it but I wanted to see if anyone else tried it.

    Also, How did you mount the PSREV. Is it just hanging? Thanks

    You should only control one reverse loop with each reverse loop module/switch. You'll short out the layout if two trains enter both loops at the same time.

    It isn't a good idea.


    Stay cool and run steam....:cool: :cool:

    As already stated, it will only work if only one train can enter at any one time. If trains enter both reverse loops at the same time, they both may stop. You won't short out the whole layout since the PSRev includes overload protection. Both reverse loops would be shut down until you removed one of the trains.

    I mount the PSRev with 1/4" long standoffs and #4 x 3/4" pan head sheet metal screws. The standoffs are little nylon tubes. This allows air to circulate around the entire board.

    I can live with that. My son has been on me for days to get that reverse loop going.
