Many thanks, Jim. I'm confident that the AC supply to the DCS100 is nominal 18V, giving enough 'headroom'. I wasn't aware that voltage would drop in a high- ...
It all depends on how much work you want to do. There isn't much empty room inside the GP30 shell. Therefore, if you wanted to use an ESU Lok Sound decoder...
Hi Doug, Bob Phillips here. Nice short description of Digitrax components. Another part of the equation, anyone attempting signaling should look at, is what...
Here are the two sites that gave me understanding. MR also provided some articles that filled in some rough edges. http://www.railroadsignals.us/cpldwgs1.htm ...

Jon/all: 1) I don't see the big deal here... The Locobuffer works perfectly well. The fact that it's an add on, not part of the command station is a good...
You could use a DS64 tortoise output to drive a bi-color (red/green) LED in response to a closed or thrown command, but that is only two aspects. If that's all...
I did some studying this morning on the Digitrax Site. Im beginning to understand the power of the SE8C. Here is some tidbits: Position for PRR, B&O and NW...
... The cathode is the "pointy end" of the LED arrow in circuit diagrams, while the anode is the back end of the arrow. Anode connects to +, cathode to -,...
Ted: You're say that you've down a power down from the throttle and not the AC to your railroad? If you have some stray DC sneaking on to the track engines...
Ted, If those BLI engines (or others for that matter) have BEMF they can crawl so slow you can't see it. Best to shut track power off, at the boosters, which...
Ted, Come on, even ghost like to play with trains !!!!!! David Chandler HO/HOn3 Stockton, CA <snip> When I shut down the power at night via the throttle...
Right - Track power is off, but the power to the CS/boosters is on. Last week I did a 39 reset at the end of our play time, but it did not help. Address Zero...
Jon - Are you not turning the track power off at the boosters when you use the trottles to power down. The Sound quits. I don't realy want to go around the...
Are you leaving your equipment powered so you can debug this odd behavior or are you intentionally running a reliability test? I'd recommend actually going...
I have installed a DZ123 decoder in a brass 0-8-0 loco, and an SFX064d in the tender. While I was setting both decoders up with clip leads, before connecting...
Ted, Since a single 15 amp house circuit can typically handle 25 or more 5 amp boosters why don't you simply lead all 5 back to one common (light) switch. ...

To: Greg It is normal for an analogue DC locomotive to run slower on a DCC layout then it does on a DC layout. I suppose that it is possible that the ...
Its been happening for a while. Seems to be just BLI locomotives. I just changed command stations - we'll see if that matters. Ted York PPA Certified...
Dear 'Victor', You have until September 20 to build it, as the current (no pun) supply is only 2 Amps. Not enough for old Athearn and 'noisy locos'! Best...
Ted, Jim Albanowski already alluded to I would check your UP3/5's. I assume that you have them all connected to the track bus and also powered by an aux 12v? ...

As numbers 3 and 4 seem to go together and as Joel says they tend to be larger club issues why not make this an add-on to keep the price down for the rest of...
Ted: What's making me a little crazy on this is that it's the BLI that are going walkies... BLI engines on DC require about six volts DC to bring up the sound...
