First and foremost, thanks to Allan Gartner for his valiant efforts. Believe me, had I not found his website, I would have been doomed to fail, as I am making the beginner's mistake of starting out wi

I'm in the process of routing the major wires for my new layout. I have following 4 basic layout busses that need to be routed: Main DCC buss: 14 gauge wire NCE Throttle buss: Small gauge 4P4C wire NC

Gang, I have an O scale two rail 2 8 2 that came to me with a motor controller DG 583 and sound decoder DSX steam. I am trying to program the decoders. I think I understand that I need to turn power o

All, Checking my thinking on wiring single crossovers with Peco Electrofrogs: My locomotives all have keep alive circuits, so initially I'm not planning on powering my frogs (I will drop frog feeders
