Andre, Can you clarify one thing? After talking with Quintin and emailing back and forth I think that I may have misunderstood how this works. The below...
I belong to a club which uses Digitrax for DCC control. It was wired by our expert to run both DCC and analog. Over the years as more of our members are...
Mike: First off where are you? I am sure there are folks in your area that can be of help. Second and this is a Big Question, Do you have a consensus from the...
Hi Mike: No matter what other faults exist you need to replace the bus wire with something much larger than 20ga. For a club layout I would strongly recommend...
Rod, Sorry, I have no experience with QSI decoders nor with EasyDCC. As to the QSI decoders, you'll have to determine how their speed table CVs work with the...

... Joe, thanks for posting the videos, they have been very helpful for one sitting on the other side of the pond. I've learned about the Soundtraxx...
Mike, Tell us more. Where are you located? What scale is the layout? How big is the layout in term of a mainline loop, if that applies? Is the club still...
If you can have DCC and analog anywhere on the layout at the same time, that may also be the cause of some of your problems. However, the items you and other...
Mike: Another vote for start over and do it right... DCC wise. Our club went DCC last year and while we had a very robust power system for DC it was felt that...
... Not to start an argument. I do not agree and simply feel that if AC or DC can be applied it should be clearly stated and not left to us to take the unit...
Yes ripping it all out and starting over is the way to go. If their club is anything like the one I am a member of they will meet with some initial resistance...
Jim, Actually with a long section of double track on one breaker it's a (an added) safety factor, a derailment on one track if it causes a short will stop...
Marc, It's a simple matter of what you say is what you support. Someday we'll have e-book tablets that monitor the reader's eyes for glassing over and adjust...
Hi Phil: First, the Red Line Route at Derby City Express was 3,828 feet, or 116 scale miles. Add in the yellow, blue and green tracks on the modules in the ...

Clark, Wouldn't it be cheaper to donate a UR92 to the club ? You will be able to run UR91's and UR92 at the same time on a layout and that would cover...
Hi Am I intepreting the manual correctly please If I set OPSW 15 disabled - all A & B inputs are set for sensor use - i.e. 8 sensors Thus if A1 or S1 or A2 or...

No. Input addresses behave as if each DS64 were half of a BDL168. DS64 cards #1 and #2 would be equivalent to BDL168 #1; DS #3 and #4 = BDL #2, etc. So ......
