PROBLEM WITH A DIGITRAX SDXH166D SOUND DECODER

PM42 (Auto Reverse use) - proximity to Booster or Auto Reverse sections?
Hello - I have a Digitrax PM42 that will be used to handle 3 sections needing auto reverse function. All 3 sections are in close proximity to each other (4' or so) but about 15 feet from the booster.

Re: To DCC or not to DCC...that is my question
Nick,
The more expensive NCE PowerPro system is much easier to interface with other add-on equipment as there are fewer restriction regarding computer interfacing for JMRI programming and/or 'cab'

Re: To DCC or not to DCC...that is my question
Thank you, very helpful. I think once I actually get hands on with it, I'll feel more comfortable with it. The good news is I haven't yet laid the yard track, so if I can get by with fewer blocks

Hello Nick,
You seem to be making it more complicated than it needs to be. Run, don't walk, to DCC. The advantages of operating with DCC are great. Once you get started with DCC you will never look

Re: NEED HELP
Scott,
Looking at your layout drawing... you have one continuous loop with only one place where trains could be reversed. Isolate the middle track located at the 'car lot' at both rails at both ends
