QUOTE I tried feeding power to the exit ramps, but if they are next to each other (7.5°), they short as the bridge swings around. I suppose that I could remove the contacts that touch the exit ramps, but is there a better solution? It's the only one I can think of. If you have the turntable powered it would have to have the same polarity as the entrance track. To have the sidings permanently powered you would have to isolate them however not neccessarily where the track joins the turntable. You could isolate the track further up in order not to haver to mess with your turntable inards. Sorry but thats the best I can come up with off the top of my head.
When you say the wrong end, you mean the side where there's no track? Wouldn't it derail too? What about having the loco lights on so you can see what direction is forward?
