OK, I just picked on that photo because I knew where it was and it showed what I believe may be Marvin’s problem. Wheel gauge and tread width play a factor. Also wearing of the plastic guard rails

Paul, I realize that, but I just wanted to clarify that the turnouts were Atlas, not Peco. What is perplexing about Marvin's situation is that multiple turnouts have suddenly failed, not just one. In

Rich, it’s not the frog that’s the problem, it’s the wheel width shorting across both frog rails at the end of the frog. That’s the reason for cutting the gap; they’re a bit farther apart

For what it's worth, Marvin said that he has all Atlas turnouts which have dead metal frogs, not Peco Insulfrogs which have plastic frogs. Rich ---In WiringForDCC@..., <pomilian@...> wrote : Marvin,

Marvin, look at the “Insulfrog1” picture in the ‘Photos’ section of this group. Four ways to fix this: 1. Cut the gaps as shown in the photo. 2. Put some nail polish on the

Marvin, let me ask you for some clarification on a few issues. You are indicating that the shorts are occurring on more than one turnout and that 3 out of 5 of your locomotives are affected by turnout

plastic frogs or the newer metal frogs? Bill

After 2 years of successfully running a mid-size layout with all Atlas track and turnouts, I have just recently noticed that when a locomotive enters a turnout from the points end of the turnout, the

I have the Walthers 90 ft Turntable and used the Digitrax AR-1, which I also use for my Y track. They both respond very well with no issues. All I did was isolated the Y track at the Y turnout, the

Neal, The built-in power reversing will work with either DC (polarity reversing) or DCC (phase reversing). An additional reversing module (or DPDT switch) is not required. DC and DCC both require

Ross, when these came out they were DC only, which is the version I have. Since that time I saw they made a DCC version and there was supposedly an adapter to make it DCC is no longer available, and

Neal, Is electrical reversing built-in to your turntable? Most manufactured turntables do. This is from the instructions for the Walthers 90’ Built-Up Turntable model 933-2840: “Installing the

Just wire up a PXAR to the turntable rails and you are good to go. DonV

Hello everyone. I have the Walthers 90' HO scale Turntable (assembled version). I'm using the NCE system, and I want to wire the turntable. I know there will be some type of reversing scenario as

Actually it does. There is no base unit! The NCE PowerCab is the following all built inside the hand held unit. 1) DCC command Station 2) Booster. 3) ProCab Cab. The only thing not inside the

Mike you did no mention if you had thewireless or wired system. But either way the fact the controller isgetting hot has nothing to do with the power on the rails. That is controlledby the base
