    AR 1 Fixed the Issue!!

    Posted by Derek West on 26th Nov 2025

    I tried using a Digitrax PM 74 to use on my layout utilizing the 4 blocks for auto reverse. While that worked on the two approach tracks to the turntables it did not work on my two reverse loops. It was hit and miss. I decided to buy two AR 1's, one for each reverse loop. They were easy to hook up and they worked like a charm! Excellent product!!

    Product works great. Digitrax fell into the "smaller" is better trap. Could of made it a little bit bigger and put a large terminal block on it. The small one makes to hard to wire.

    Product works. Must be fair, I am a novice model railroader and know very little about electronics. There are no instructions on how to install on a Kato Turntable. Lots of info on Youtube, but pick your sources carefully. Did get it installed correctly and is works fine. Thanks Midwest for the fast processing and shipping.

    Was convinced I needed one but then found out I could do it with a simple double throw double pole switch. So for now I won’t be using it.
