Yes a reversing module is one way you can handle power on a turntable 
bridge.


  There are other ways to power the bridge track.  If your lead is 
mostly on the other side of the house tracks, (12 and 6 o clock)
  You can split the pit rail and add an un electrified section at say 3 
and 9 o clock.  Power each half of the pit rail from the track bus.    
Use a pit rail pickup at each end of the bridge. This way the bridge 
track polarity will always match the lead and house tracks.

Hope this helps.

  Well since we are on the subject of DCC here... I have a general DCC 
question:
 Is the reversing module appropriate for turntables as well as wyes?

 Just a note about DCC:

 Popularity of DCC Systems by sales that was published in MR?
 #1 - Digitrax [Largest of DCC owners]
 #2 - NCE [not a close second, but one of 2 top major players]
  #3 - Lens [sales I beleive were only 8%, with the owner up there in 
years and some buyers wondering if support will be there if anything 
happens to him. One man company with all the knowledge.]

 Hope this helps,
