Date: Fri, 26 Mar 2021 09:57:44 CDT  Hello All  New to this Group  Hope all are safe and well. I have a small layout and runs 3 trains at the same time.  Have 14 switches Use Atlas code 83 track on my layout. I use NCE Power Cab to control my trains. sometimes a train would derail at a switch and that would short circuit my entire layout.  So I decided to setup Districts on my layout I have three districts now and forth one in planned. My layout was all tied together by switches as cross overs.  also have a double cross over on district 2 and 3   So I had to isolate the track on district 1 from district 2 and 3   in doing that I ran into a few minor issues.  On District 1 I found I now had a dead section of track which worked fine before I isolated the track. After many trouble shooting step I found I had a bad feeder wire on a piece of track before the dead section.  I think it was shorting in out somehow.  Replacing the wires will be done soon currently I disconnected them from my buss. My buss is a 14 AWG stranded pair of speaker wire   Now with the three districts I have three separate buss lines  My problem now is on District 2 on a section of the track it short circuits and the train stops  I have feeders before the section and after the section it is a dead spot not sure what to check I tried to put my layout here but it would not let me. Any one have any ideas what to check Thanks Tom     View/Reply Online | Reply To Group | Reply To Sender | Mute Topic | Top ^ | New Topic 1b.   Re: NCE DCC EB1 Circuit Breakers  From: wirefordcc Date: Fri, 26 Mar 2021 10:50:13 CDT  Hi Tom, Can you upload a drawing of your layout to this groups files section?  Show where your problems are. I or someone else should then be able to help you.

He's trying to figure out how to connect it to his DCC++EX base station. Can he simply use the signals from his rails to feed the Loconet RailSync wires to the booster (he wouldn't need more than 5A, so the DCC++ rail outputs are otherwise unused)?  What about the 'ground' reference booster input?  I suspect that's not necessary as long as he's running just the one booster for the whole layout - unless he uses a PM42, obviously, or other Digitrax device that needs the reference.  Comments?
