Deano:
I made an electric safeguard on the liftout on my previous layout.
The North rail was powered on the east side of the lift out and was gapped on the west side.
The South rail was powered on the west side and gapped on the east side.
The gaps were far enough over that a locomotive could stop before falling into the open pit.
There can be problems if you back trains a lot; use 4 powered diesels on the front; have DMUs or such that are powered through a number of cars.
