Allan See individual responses below. By the way, thank you both for the effort put into your website, which I've been following for at least two years now, and for this new group. Just pulling this

Steve, Hook your reverse loop to your AD520. Then feed your AD520 from your main bus or booster. We have had a few occassions where people have wired their reverse section controller, such as

hello everyone, i was reading allans site and i noticed he says (Do not connect your main bus to your reversing section in any way. Your reversing section must only be connected to your reverse

Blair, Regarding PS2012: I prefer to have a power source with each booster/command station. Given the cost of individual power sources and the PS2012, there really isn't a cost advantage either

Anyone out there ever wire a IHC Cab Forward for DCC? I am lost even figuring how to get it open.

hello everyone, im new here and i have a question. i purchased a MRC AD520 auto reverse unit about 6 or 8 months ago. since then i have gotten my layout ready and need to install it. i am useing the

Allan Yes, I'm familiar with your website. The hole in the wall for wire is possible, but as the offending wall is 10" concrete block, I'll only do it if it saves me significant effort in wiring. As

Blair, Thanks for posting the detailed drawing. I will think about your layout some more over the weekend. I'm sure some of the other people will have a few comments for you. Here are a few of

I have a fairly ambitious layout a-building, and it's time I considered DCC power distribution. I have posted a PDF to the files section of this group, named "ACR 20040402b DCC.pdf", to give you an

Keep both main tracks at the same polarity. [i.e - Wire both North rails to be at the same polarity. Don't make a figure 8 loop crossing through the crossover.] Throw all 4 turnouts to be in the

Can any one help here. I have several of this crossovers and understand that they can be a problem with shorting on DCC if the wiring is not corrected. Are there any artilces I can obtain or can

Its time again to remind everyone it is your railroad. As long as it works, you can do what you want to. What I try to give in my website is bulletproof advice that will definitely work for
