I used the AR10 on my last layout for a bypass. Required next to no setup and worked flawlessly.

The AR1 is made by Digitrax. It is adjustable and uses a relay. It is challenging to get adjusted for all your locos. I sold it. The AR10 is made by NCE. I have one. I've been too busy building my lay

Check my website at: https://wiringfordcc.com/track_2.htm#a53 and scroll down to the discussion on Walthers/Shinohara crossings. I suspect the Atlas is similar. If you have a digital multimeter, set i

Do we know that? It's news to me! Wouter

I am new to DCC and cannot find any information on how to wire an Atlas 30 degree code 83 HO crossing for DCC. Any links or advice?

Apologies Nick for repetition. Hadn’t seen Wouter’s answer and, as we all know, he’s the expert. Bill D N&W Steam Only

Nick, Assuming you’re referring to operation of an AR segment in DCC, NO. Length of train relates only to those locos or cars which have electrical continuity (motors, lights, etc.), Bill D N&W Steam

Nick, In that case, it is no issue. But it does put you in the position that you cannot have lighted cars later, or even ones with resistor wheels to make detection possible. In other words: you open

I've seen the reference to train length on this topic several times. My question is this: is train length only a factor if you have light/sound cars, or a pusher engine at the rear? That is, if I simp

Hello Darren, The NCE AR10 is older technology that may require a bit of adjusting. Since you have it I think you should give it a try. Do not include the turnouts at either end of the reversing secti

“I am working on my 2nd DCC layout and I was hoping to get some advise on wiring a double reversing loop to an AR10. I put an image of my layout in a photo album named DarrenYoungDoubleReversingLoop.

dyoung, If you haven't already purchased the AR10 - buy a PSX-AR to make your layout more friendly to sound/lighted passenger cars. Even if you already own the AR10 - if you think you will -ever- use

Hello Darren, An interesting plan. It will help to know the scale of the drawing (looks like 2' squares) and the length of your longest train. If the length of track from the blue turnout (part of a c

Nick, I use 0603 and 0402 leds with leads already on them from LEDbaron on eBay. I start with a 3k resistor and go up from there to whatever brightness I like for that LED in that use on the loco. One
