Re: DCC Meters
When I connected my Harbor Freight meters to the output of the Power Cab
Had a loco on the track running. They all showed close to 13.6 vac. My Tek scope verified. I did the math conversion.

Re: How to set up locomotive
Lloyd,
Do you have a Zephyr or a Chief? (I assume since you had your system for a while, you don’t have an Evolution.)
You said you don’t know how to set up a locomotive on your system.

Re: DCC Meters
On larger layout without a load, you will see the track voltage go up the further you get away from the DCC system or booster powering the track.
The is voltage ringing (spike) on the DCC waveform

Re: Controlling HO DCC system
The MTH DCS system cannot control DCC locomotives.
Some MTH locomotives can be controlled either by MTH's DCS or DCC systems. All the MTH locomotives I own are like that.

No
Apparently however - it is the other way around, with the ESU ECoS.

The 'banner' of the NMRA governs only the DCC signaling interchange to the track and a few particular CVs for normal but minimal operation. From there each manufacturer is free to invent and define

Mark,
Are the two bascule bridges joined together when closed at a center pier? If so that would be an ideal place to use a centering pin on one side and a V shaped mating part on the other to ensure

Mark,
If "the trackage for each layout is basically a simple single oval which with no turnouts. Then the Tracks simply meet over The Bridge with double track and continues to the next single oval.
