I had some difficulty fitting a DH163KO into one of the older SD40s - the lighting pads to which you need to solder the wires are very small. I fried some of...
Ollie, I am also just getting my feet wet in signaling. Do you have a drawing or diagram that shows the positioning of the signals? Looking for some ideas on...
Mark - Let me add my comments to Ollie's - I have a similar set up in that I use Tomar signals and Digitrax SE8Cs, BDL168s except I use DS54s with JMRI ...
Mark, I, too am using SE8Cs along with BDL168s, DS64s, and RR&Co for signaling. As far as the logic required, it depends on how far you want to take it. The...
Another way to save $ on the signals themselves is to use the Oregon Rail Supply kits that can be obtained for about $6 or so each. I have 10 thumbs and I was...
Any turnout with a metal throw bar is NOT DCC friendly. The point rail and stock rail are of opposite polarity. So the back of the flange of any loco passing...
Does anyone have pictures of prototype, old-time, lever-actuated turnout mechanisms of the kind operated from a control tower? Also pictures of the same as...

Hmm. I like those. I guess the computerized version would DS64 to Tortoises with the hand lever wire hooked in to move the lever as the tortoise goes. If they...
Ken, Sorry I don't have any pictures. You bring up a good point, I should take some. All six rail ends on my turnouts are gapped, and about 2 inches from...
Thanks Ollie. That is all I wanted to know, It's as good as a diagram. Ken ... From: "oliver_mayes" <omayes@...> To: <Digitrax@yahoogroups.com> Sent:...
It is true that it depends on the particular situation, but even interlocking can be implemented with devices like the SIC24. It is just a matter of how many...

Does anyone know if there is a dial vernier caliper calibrated in feet/inches for N scale. That is, the dial would read in feet/inches. This would make...
I could swear I saw something to that effect at MicroMark...They'd be the ones who would do such a thing, though now that I recall, it might've been just for...
If you can't find an N scale caliper, you might be able to find a caliper with a serial port on it and connect it to a computer. Then have excel or another...
