Why would you need to stop a train over the switch? Could you extend the return loop past the point where the train stops? See Attachment. Scott Haycock

How long will a train be stopped over the switch? IIRC, a Wabbit has a delay that is programmable for up to 255 seconds. If your train can be clear of the switch by 4 minutes or so, that may be a good

Thanks Paul, That's the perfect solution! It's appears to be small enough to fit in the class light box, and your solution to get white is elegant. I've put a drawing in the photo section showing the

does this group allow attachments? I'll try again. Scott Haycock

Yeah, it looks like no joy. This has been an ongoing project for about a decade now. The last time I checked, I couldn't find a white/green LED at all. I was hoping someone made them by now. I have a

Hi Craig, I've done a couple of these full light package installs before, but these engine have a couple of new (to me) challenges. The box that contains the class lights and number board are mounted

Thanks Peter, I might be able to make those work with optical fiber. What I'm hoping to locate is an SMD version, at the largest. Attached is a grab from a drawing of the engine, an HO Baldwin AS-616

Folks, I'm looking for a source for tiny bi-colored LEDs for adding class lights to a project I'm working on. Does anyone make a white/green version? Thanks, Scott Haycock

Jim, The Wabbit and it's relatives will do that. Basically, you cut a 'portal' in one rail- a short section that connects to the Wabbit- ahead of the frog on a return side rail. Then you program the W

I think that if you look at this as an AR within an AR. the answer will be more apparent. Scott Haycock

Prototype yard throats, as much as possible, were designed so all the switch stands were on the same side of the lead for personnel safety. The switcher would be 'faced' so that the engineer could see

The key measurement for laying out yard tracks is center-to-center spacing. in HO this is usually 2'' on straight track. Lay it out. Most HO turnouts have to be shortened for ladders. The NMRA website

Hi Blair, I've never heard the term sub-bus, but it's been awhile since I did any track wiring. In my understanding, a dropper connects to the rail. If your bus is close enough, you can connect it dir

Sorry. You said bus wire when I think you mean feeder wire, thus the confusion. Scott Haycock Modeling Tarheel country in the Land of Enchantment

One reason to have each track separately wired would be to prevent all the sound equipped engines in the yard from starting up at the same time when you power up! Scott Haycock Modeling Tarheel countr

I'm dismantling a too-large layout project that used these stationary decoders to control Tortoise switch motors in a hidden staging yard. I'm planning a much smaller, and simpler layout, and want to

A couple of questions : what scale and DCC system are you using? The Version IV is designed to be used with large scale, higher voltage systems, while the version 1,2, &3 are for HO and N scale railro

I'll do that later today. Scott Haycock Scott – if you would… Please post the Loy’s Toy’s instructions in that same folder. DonV
