I have hooked this AR in my wye, but I am still having problems. I have insulated both legs of the wye coming out of the wye and leading into (2) Peco #6 Electrofrog turnout back to the main line. on

I have 6 EB1s on my layout with many sound locos and a lighted passenger train,. No issues…

Tom/all, There is one approach to wiring that works - and all the rest don't work as well. It goes like this: What you wire today - you test today (or first thing tomorrow morning). Seems

Alan, thanks for the reply. Yes I know about the extra terminals on the newer version of the Switch 8 MK2 I have had 3 Switch 8 MK2 already and not one of them worked with the button board. As I said

Hi Tom, I noticed the extra set of contacts on the Switch8-MkII. I had initially wired it up wrong when using the Button Board. Once I realized my mistake, I was fine. Here is what I wrote about it

Hello All, Been having a problem setting up an NCE Switch 8 MK2 using a Button Board. I have two SWITCH 8 MK2 both have a button board connected. One works great push the button the track switches

Hello I was able to get my EB1's setup and working. The track isolation took a little work and I had to replace some pieces of track the Dremel tools cut the rails no problem but on small pieces of

Hi, I hate to ask another reverse loop question, but before I lay all the track and do the wiring, I want to verify that I have it right. A schematic of my proposed layout has been uploaded to the

Tom, there is a difference between a “short “ or short circuit that causes a circuit breaker to trip and a loco to stop, and an “open” that simply causes a loco to stop. Be sure to use the

A friend recently purchased a Digitrax DB210 as someone told him he'd need one for his layout. He's trying to figure out how to connect it to his DCC++EX base station. Can he simply use the signals

Hi Tom, Can you upload a drawing of your layout to this groups files section? Show where your problems are. I or someone else should then be able to help you. Thank you Allan Gartner Wiring for DCC

Hello All New to this Group Hope all are safe and well. I have a small layout and runs 3 trains at the same time. Have 14 switches Use Atlas code 83 track on my layout. I use NCE Power Cab to

Another option I’ve used wiring some clubs are delay timers on the AC side. More expensive than Robin’s and the other solutions but perhaps simpler depending on your skills. Of course these are on

The Club layout has a master timer on the layout power supply. All layout electronics, light power converters, Arduinos, etc. on same circuit. Push button, cycles through 2,3,8,12 hour

Blair, Sounds like a nice project. I've been using cheap ebay TC12000 12v delay relay boards, with In+ connected to Loconet Pin 1 and In- connected to Loconet Pin 2. The boards have a built-in

I've built a small detector circuit which detects Railsync on the Loconet cable and, after a programmable delay, energises a relay. That relay turns on my booster at the far end of the basement.  A

Thank you very much Joann and Blair! Daniel

If you intend to use a lot of locomotives with sound, you'll want to use PSX circuit breakers as they're solid state; I have four PM42 boards in operation, and I have to limit the number of

I agree with the PM42. My layout is split into 4 zones. Each zone is powered by a different output. One other thing that no one has mention and that is you need to have isolated rail joiners between
