New layout looks interesting...I would try to fit in a passing
siding more convenient to the switching area with all
of the spurs. You'll need to push cars in as well as
back them.

Keep in mind you'll need a separate reverse loop controller for
each isolated section.

As to the yard 'inside' a reverse loop; Not a problem, however,
all yard and any other tracks connected to the isolated
section will be an electrical part of the section.

With DCC you can have either wired or wireless (recommended)
hand held controllers. Most systems allow fascia 'jacks' for wired
controllers. You can plug and unplug them as you move about
the layout. Wireless, tho, avoids getting tangled in the
wire. 'You'll need to check what is available
in the brand of DCC system you select.

Every yard, spur or other DEAD END track connected to the
isolated section uses the power of the isolated section.
Any track connected to the isolated section
that goes back to the main should have a gap or
insulated joiners where it connects to the isolated
section.

There can be only ONE DCC main controller on
a layout. You cannot use the EZ DCC system as a
2nd controller. Any wired or wireless hand held
must be of the same make as the main controller. However,
some DCC systems will permit use of a DC power pack as a
2nd controller. Consult your owners manual for
wiring instructions.

It is always touch and go to suggest reverse loop situations
absent a track drawing. My posts are based on what
the OP has said or asked in his posts.

Looking at your drawing...you have ONE reverse loop in the lower right and within it is
a yard. This is very simple. Use a gap or insulated joiners in both tracks below the
turnout that creates the 'reverse loop'. The yard tracks inside it
are therefore a part of the 'reverse loop' and take the same
output of the 'reverse' device.

For clarification...a DCC layout has only ONE DCC controller. However,
a reverse loop requires a device to automatically match phase (polarity).
This device is generally referred to as a 'reverse loop controller'. It is
usually located under the benchwork near the 'isolated' section it
powers and requires no operator attention once installed. It's input
is your main DCC bus.
