Spell check again. Wire nuts.

My best find was with the heavy duty outlets for screw and clamp attachment – the wires had been pushed in, but no screw down. Must have thought they were the “quickwire” type.

It's wired the way you suggest.  I basically followed the diagram provided by Mark G. On the Wiring for DCC web site. http://www.wiringfordcc.com/track_2.htm#a52 I used the simple bus method. Wil

Wire nuts are for circuits using higher voltages and currents than DCC. The higher voltages and currents tend to decrease corrosion between the wires that are twisted together. Also,

OH! I didn't realize that you ran your railroad directly from the AC?.� Sorry, but your trying to compare apples and oranges.� Have you read about what actually the DCC signal is

We have two old style (double crossbar) Shinohara Code 100 double crossovers in operation at our club which work well in both DC and DCC mode. You have to throw both divergent routes simultaneously

Hi Folks I've placed "Wawa_Reversing.jpg" in the files section.  The background is: The layout is HO, with Digitrax DCC.  This is a sinter mill scene.  A train from the junction will visit the

Take a look at that tail track on the right-hand side of the green. That can be wired to a switch machine to avoid needing a reverser there. Now, take a look at the lower section in red. I'd

Blair, Clearly the Green section of track is a reversing section. It has three entrances. If all trains will always be shorter than the Green section simply make the Green section an auto-reversing

Thanks, Don.  That was my thinking; since the A/D train will often be longer than the green, it makes sense to make the green plus red all one large autoreversing section.  Consists will often be 4

Your operating description is a little hard to follow as there are no location names shown on the track sketch. Also not sure if it is drawn to any scale or if there are other track extensions off to

Don In my original email, I described traffic as follows: "A train from the junction will visit the sinter mill once daily, arriving by the lower track at right... Generally, all or a

I'll try to post it later. Yahoo won't let me post it, for some reason. B

Don't know what's with groups. Restarted my browser, entered groups via email link instead of neo, still nothing. Click on upload, select file, add comment, click save, window grays out and nothing

Hi Don New sketch attached. Regards Blair [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

Still can't post anything to files. Don has helped me determine the best solution, anyway, but it's impossible to provide the final version. Thanks, folks. Blair

I've been reading up on Tortoise et al and want to make sure I'm starting on the right foot. I have 7 turnouts that are (mostly) out of reach and will be getting machines. After all the reading I'm

The Tortoises with the built-in decoders, SMAILS I believe they are called, are using built-in NCE electronics. Allan Gartner WiringForDCC.com <http://www.wiringfordcc.com/>

I use the SwitchMaster (SM) machine, controlled by the NCE Switch-It. I prefer the SM to the Tortoise because it is so easy to mount and the motion is rotary -- allowing the use of a crank
