Nick, after sending my previous message, I looked at your diagram again, and realized that you'll probably be best served by making your red section the auto-reversing section. Sorry for any

It might be other reasons, but this as happened on our museum layout a number of times, and it has always been too many sound-equipped locomotives and/or lighted cars in the same block. Too much

Pasting a picture doesn't work, so look here https://groups.io/g/w4dccqa/photo/268225/3304600?p=Created%2C%2C%2C20%2C2%2C0%2C0 to see the connections to eliminate. Tim

If you eliminate these connections to the main track Then your situation will be greatly simplified. Your layout is then a simple oval with the branch line on the tail of a wye to Dubols. Make the

Allan and others, an NCE Power CAB can measure and display the ampere demand. It is rated for only 2 amperes. A PowerPRO system (with the right power source/supply) is rated for 5 amps but cannot

Hi, I'm re-starting my RR from scratch (getting more space is wonderful). I've found reversing sections aren't my strong suit, so I'm seeking feedback on the plan to see if I have it right - or too

Perhaps the simplest way of debugging a problem like this is the classic “halving” strategy. In short, disconnect half of your railroad. Find which half provokes your problem. Then repeat the

Hi Phil, I’ve been thinking about your problem. Can’t say that I’ve seen it before, but I try to give you some useful thoughts. You may have a couple of unrelated problems. First, you

Hi Phil, I’ve been thinking about your problem. Can’t say that I’ve seen it before, but I try to give you some useful thoughts. You may have a couple of unrelated problems. First, you

Phil, The PowerCab is seeing a short/high amp draw - there's enough power for the layout to come up but not enough for the added draw of trying to move a loco. Sound locos draw more than

On my NCE DCC Power Cab layout, after over 10 years of successful operation, my DCC locomotives began to reset the system after I had accelerated above 3 or 4 on the 28 speed setting. By reset, I

Several posts on this forum have referred to MERG CBUS as a layout control protocol (perhaps most popular in the UK where MERG is headquartered), and several people have referred to the many

I've already changed the trip time.

Check for the flashing dot between F11 and F12 on a DT400. The dot has three states, off, on, and frustratingly flashing. It should be on and not flashing. Press [Pwr] then [Y/+] to make the dot go

Your problem sounded familiar as soon as you said, "My Club." if you have someone who uses their own throttle it probably wasn't attached to the layout and was not affected by a software change and

We are experiencing a problem on our club layout, I am hopeful that you guys might be able to help. All of our throttles are not working. I have already trouble shot all our loconet cable. All

You have to change the Trip time duration on the PSX's and possibly the DCS240 I had a similar situation with the HMRC lay out... I feeds several PXS-1 from 210 and a 220, the PSX-1's feed several

I've had a ongoing discussion on the DCC4EVERYONE forum but haven't reach a solution so thought I would try this group. The problem I'm experiencing is that we have a reversing loop that is handled

Thanks very much, Don. That is what I need to know. Rich

Rich, once the booster trips all power is lost to the rest of the layout… (booster district) including that to the input, and therefore also the output, of any PSX-AR also also wired from that same
