Lynn Just got back from being away and saw your post. Don't know what you ended up buying however for your consideration - I use cat5 wire using only 6 of the...
thanks! I followed the link and found Tony's has a good deal, etc The reference was good help (loys). I believe that is the route I will go - that does...
I have one DS44 to test. The instructions say nothing about feedback to an automated CTC system. I understand the wiring and the address selection. The...
The DS44 has no built-in provision for position feedback. You would need to use another device and a set of switch machine contacts to add that feature. That's...
Has anybody set up a #14awg Bus hooked to a booster (DB150) to JUST handle turnout power plus addressing those turnouts? If the booster is on the loconet it...
George, yes, I have done this. I am actually using a DB100 booster to feed seperate power to my DS54s and DS64s. Since the booster is on the loconet, the 54s...
That's the way I did it. I have a turnout buss for the DS-54's and it also powers the yard. I use the DB 150 for that. [Non-text portions of this message have...
I know the DS52 can operate 2 turnout machines The question is, does anyone know if it capable of operating 2 machines on each pair? as for double crossover...
Yes. It's quite common practice, and it offers the advantage of not disabling any of your switch machines when a short circuit occurs. When a short occurs from...
Hey everyone, For HO layouts, what have you selected for Trip Current in your PM42s? Do you use the default 3 amp setting or have you upped it to 4.5 amps or...
I have tried the momentum trick... unfortunately, it does not help this problem. The locomotives work perfectly on NCE, just not on the Digitrax set to 3 amps....
Grounding to a water pipe or the safety ground of an outlet is usual practice BUT: Be absolutely certain that the connection includes a series resistor, 1...

Hi All, I just wanted to let you all know that a small company in Whitby, Canada is going out of business as the owner is retiring. The name of the company is...
Ken, Sorry to say he is old fashioned and doesn not believe in them, although some would say he is wise!! Since I don't live anywhere near Canada...not really....
Yes we have both on our old layout and again now on our new layout! On the old one because we used foam as a baseboard material and the allignment was poor...
Depending on the current requirements, you may not need all those boosters, but use separate sections of a PM42 power manager or equivalent. The point is to...
I installed a new dh163ps in an atlas c425. all of the cv's read 255 or 0's. is there something wrong with the decoder? I replaced it with an old dh 140 it...
Jim, From your description, it sounds as if the current did just what you said it did not do. It travelled from the soldering iron in your right hand thru ...
