Thanks, Dale, I’ll try to learn more about it. Allan

There is also a 3 way turnout in Peco code 75 electrofrog style. However, unlike the code 100 ones it is an asymmetric design. Therefore they can be wired just like one would do for 2 turnouts

I have added a topic on the Peco 3-Way turnouts to my website. You can get to it, along with other recent topics, in the What's New section of my website

Hey Nick. Thanks for the response. My units are not in a reversing loop, as they just butt up to each other in the yard. Since I have not added ballast yet, I am going to pull up the track and

I have two of these as well but not in a reversing loop. You are correct that Peco recommends insulating the four inside legs, which I did, and have experienced no problems in operation. I would

Hey everyone. New to the group and wiring my first layout in DCC. In my yard district, I have wired two Peco SL-99 3 way turnouts with the toe end opposite each other and joining from the right side

If your photo is accurate, there are 3 relatively independent reversing loops. The Red outside loop and each of the 2 Green indicated loops. AND a possible wye toward the center (the track sketch

Looking at the photo's there should almost be a groups page dedicated to reverse loops! We're in the process of converting to DCC and in deliberations on how best to wire/block the loops we have.

Several new topics have been added to the Wiring for DCC website. You can find them in the What's New section at: http://www.wiringfordcc.com/wirefordcc_toc.htm#a1 The new topics are: 1. DCC safe

Hi George Galyon, You seem to be a rather expert on these Shinohara crossovers, so I thought I would double check with you. I have 2 older style DOUBLE crossovers, and 4 older style SINGLE

Match So here is what I am doing now..... Cause I am not Steve Wozniak and can't put odd components together for

I checked with my meter fifteen years ago. I check periodically. I worked for NASA for fourteen years at Wallops Flight Faciliy. I kknow the details. Good enough for me.

The Weller WES D51 ESD Is what I use. My soldering station previous was a Weller EC2000, but finally gave up after 30 years.

You might also take a look at this for a simple add on booster. http://www.tamvalleydepot.com/products/dccbooster.html Chuck Filson

Hi! This may fit the bill. It works with several manufacturers Command Stations. It is available in the US from Iron Planet Hobbies. Here is the MFG

No one is following the DCC standards in US. No one has changed the design of their boosters since they were designed and release well before the standard came out a long time later. Best

Then it is not. ESD safe units are identified with the ESD safe symbols. Older units have the three prong plug, and they are not ESD safe. --

ESD Safe is not the exactly the same as current leakage or as simply grounding the tip of a soldering iron. There is as special spec and requirements for it to protect sensitive electronic

Then don't do decoder or electronic work with it. I wouldn't risk smoking a decoder with a non-ESD safe iron. Craig Zeni Cary NC
