Hi Carl, Thanks for your response. This is N Scale Kato Unitrack with #6 turnouts. I’d like to have a panel but I haven’t gotten to that point yet. The plan is to us the Digikeijs DR 5000 along

Hello Tom: Next question: How will you control turnouts? 1) Master Dispatcher panel? 2) Point of use, controls at fascia or hand control at

Hi Carl, The purpose of the layout is to run trains with my 7 year old and get him building different pieces. Not as structured as some. Being able to run multiple trains and for him to play in

Hello Tom: My first question is: What is the purpose of your layout, how do you plan to operate? Run trains, switching, scenery, etc. Plus NMRA has a

Jerry, I have just laid my code 83 Atlas track and all of my turnouts are Walthers (Shinohara) code 83. Can your modification be completed with the turnouts already laid? If you have a diagram to look

John S., Assume by "a 24-ga. solid wire soldered from the web of the point rail to the web of the frog rail," you mean "to the web of the stock rail" Isn't stranded wire (if not what I suggested

Jerry, I have modified about 130 Walthers Code 83 DCC-friendly turnouts in the last 3 years. Every turnout has a 24-ga. solid wire soldered from the web of the point rail to the web of the frog rail,

Hi Carl, Thank you so much thats fantastic and especially thanks for the tip at the end that definitely sounds like a situation I don't want to go through. Best regards Paul

Hello Paul: Nice layout. I would suggest at least 4 blocks, more wouldn't hurt. 1) Inside loop 2) Outside loop 3)

Hi now that the add folder button has been unlocked I have now added a folder called "Paul's Layout Plan" with a pdf of my layout in. Please if anyone has any ideas on how I wire this layout up please
