DCC/DC and Dual Frof Juicer as Auto Reverser.
I uploaded the two DC/DCC files after creating a location called DC/DCC. BTW, I do think this is involved with wiring for DCC--to accommodate DC, for what it's worth. Greg Harter

DC/DCC detectors to permit layouts to run both: apparently I don't know how to do this. My note to the group went through, but not the schematics, etc. Can somebody help me with this? Greg Harter

Our club (25 years+) uses solder for track drops and some track joiners. We have seen a few instances where (unsoldered) track joiners stop conducting electricity. All other connections on the layout

Stationary decoders
You could call Team Digital in Kokomo, IN. Bill Robinson has always been very helpful to me. I have two SMD82s and use them in conjunction with my NCE system. The instructions that come with the unit
