Walthers Turntable?

[doctorwayne]

I have the Walthers 90' turntable, but mine is the manual version, and has no such restrictions. I did check Walthers DCC version, and that's where the "no track" area comes into play. Apparently, when an end of the bridge is within that area, the bridge track is not powered, so a locomotive on the bridge couldn't be moved onto a track within that area, nor moved from such a track onto the bridge. You can put a track within that "No Track" zone, but it would be unpowered and therefore for display purposes only.

Not being at all familiar with DCC operation, I'm uncertain as to why this restriction is necessary, but I'm guessing that it might have something to do with an auto-reversing circuit.
