Jay, In the Central Valley of California...We have Peat Dust, Valley Fever and now Ashe from the many Northern California Fires. ===? And abrupt temperature changes which create a very strange

Hi, I will say it one more time. Here in the Midwest US, it is very dusty. A lot of farming is done around here & it is windy most of the time. I and 2 others locally, started using CRC 2-26 (Plastic

Hmm! I started this with questions about using Radio Shack cleaners/lubricants. But I see no one comment on them. That's OK. I have tried alcohol. It does a fair job if you do it often. (How often is

Mike: Exactly what I found out. I'd like to think it was my own "figuring out". But in truth, it was a little of group info and thinking. I did power the one rail from the frog/actually, the feeder is

I tried before to answer your question but think that it was rejected by the Maildeamon. Here goes again. You are using dead frog turnouts as many do and they are useful as a switch cutting of the

Thanks for the tip, Alex. Thanks. Tom

After the isopropyl cleaning did not bring the desired long term effect, I looked around for other options, and on one forum (I don't remember where) someone recommended jewelry polish. I gave that a

If supplied as shown, the frog of the PECO insul-frog is dead and isolated but the frog exit rails are on/off power routed, but do not change in polarity, via connections at the points. This means

Don. Thank you. The problem I had was all the "options". Insulate rails? Not insulate rails? So what I did was run a feeder to the "frog rail" for the main. Now the main is powered no matter what way

Morgan, use an Ohmeter to verify that the frog exit rails are indeed connected to the respective point and frog closure rails as Allan shows in his diagram of #2-12a at

Morgan, The turnout as provided by PECO looks great and will not cause any shorts by itself. There is no instant need to butcher it up or provide additional electrical connections. However there ARE

After Cv8 I cycle track power off then on. Lights flash sixteen times and loco then runs on address 3 if reset took. But always use program track option. Rich

The simplest way is to buy a packet of tiny sprung connections that fit between the track . Hornby sell them for a small amount of money and they work fine. Have a look at a hornby catalogue and all

Hi Richard, Perhaps you can assist me. I also have an NCE Power Cab. I just purchased a new DCC Bachmann locomotive and of course...can not get it to run. I have 13.77vac at track. A call to

What am I saying that is not clear. My turnouts are NOT wired. The turnout itself does not need wiring. I have reviewed a lot of drawings and diagrams - all about wiring a turnout. I choose not to

Thanks Allan. Pass along anymore that comes your way. M

Thank you John! This is all very helpful. I wish Peco had a standard with which to connect their turn-outs. Their website is also basically worthless in accessing information. Michael

I have the NCE Power Cab and have programmed different decoders. Is the display on? I think it must be. The red LED also. You said you are getting shorts so the display must go out and the cab resets

I have NCE and put 2.5 amps on each power district (6). Love the system. Might be a little over powered but that's better than under powered. Once you have your system running the way you want and
