Some
of us are very tempted by DCC. No shortage of literature
on the subject, much of it written by devotees for whom
jargon is a matter of pride, so the apprentice has a
whole new dictionary to get his mind around. I could go
on a rampage around the flaw of insularity in our
species but best no to. Nor will I be trusting the
promotional media that have such a stranglehold on
information. But the point about DCC is you can do away
with most Blocks and with an auto reverse module there's
no need for an insulated Frog which means a Reverse Loop
is a Piece of Cake, apparently.

A Reverse
Loop could well be the solution to the problem of
introducing nine and a half inch Radius Curves into the
County of Saint Barbara. Much of it would have to be
elevated but at least the egress would be a single track. An
even greater temptation is that DCC permits Locomotives to
run independently upon the same track. This causes a mind to
expand in an almost hallucinogenic manner, but sadly there's
a cost factor. The other thing is that I have to have some
idea of the world beyond Saint Barbara and this means I'm
probably looking at a Dog Pole Loop.
